Sea Traffic Management Validation

Closed

Sea Traffic Management (STM) aims to form a common standardized information sharing environment for actors in the maritime domain. Built on these standards, the concepts of Voyage Management, Flow Management, Port Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) and SeaSWIM have been identified. Under Voyage Management, a multitude of services are envisaged improving support to individual ships in both the planning and executional phases of a voyage. Flow Management concerns services supporting both land organizations and ships in optimizing the overall traffic flow through areas of dense traffic or particular navigational challenges. Port CDM aims at increasing the ability to determine the accuracy of port approaches by and for involved actors by improved sharing of information and collaborative decision making in the process of port calls and departures. SeaSWIM ensures an efficient exchange of information between the actors in the maritime domain. STM services have a great potential in overcoming many of the challenges of communication and information sharing between actors at sea and on land. The flagship involves partners from Austria, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom as well as Baltic and International Maritime Council (BIMCO) also participate in the project.
