MONALISA 2.0 — Sea Traffic Management

Definition phase study

Sea Traffic Management (STM) and information management are major challenges for the maritime industry. Within MONALISA 2.0, a definition phase study will be carried out, very much inspired by the SESAR program used in the aviation sector, and a Master Plan for further development and deployment of STM will be elaborated.

Sea Traffic Management is the dynamic, integrated management of sea traffic and maritime space (including sea traffic services, management of the maritime space and sea traffic flow management) through the provision of facilities and seamless services in collaboration with all parties and involving seaborne and shore-based functions. The aim of STM is safe, environmentally friendly and efficient shipping.

STM involves the aggregation of seaborne and shore-based functions (sea traffic services, maritime space management and sea traffic flow management) required for ensuring the safe and efficient movement of vessels during all operational phases.

The approach is to use experience from the Air Traffic Management (ATM) and the SESAR program. Learning from ATM principles and experiences, structures, processes, methods and concepts will be adopted and scaled to the maritime sector.

The work will involve domain experts, such as partners, stakeholders and key players. A cost benefit analysis will explore and motivate societal outcomes, operational performance and performance of technical enablers. Experiences from previous projects will be taken into account and cooperation with other relevant EU programs like CISE and MIELE ( Information technology related projects Co-financed by EU commission) will be initiated.

Use an architecting and modeling approach the expected outcomes will define and progress STM in a structured manner. This will be based on an analysis of the current situation, a target concept description and a performance framework. The end result will have the format of strategic road map and a work program for the deployment of the STM concept.

The Swedish Maritime Administration coordinates the Definition Phase with technical assistance by Air Navigation Services of Sweden.
