Valenciaport Foundation is currently developing a new tool referred to as VESSL (Valenciaport European Short-sea Shipping Lines Database). VESSL features information about all the regular lines that call at any core and/or comprehensive port of the Trans-European Transport Network in the EU, including the Norwegian ports incorporated in the STM Validation Project.
For a Search and Rescue unit (SRU) it is crucial to receive correct information in time. Sea Traffic Management makes it possible to transmit search area and search information using S124 for areas and RTZ for routes directly into the navigational equipment instead of over the radio. This is a faster way of communicating and makes the search and rescue (SAR) more efficient.
In the following, we deal with how Analysis and Evaluation are prepared while the test beds are being settled. Until then, the information environment is being built in line with the hypotheses’ logical structure, while the processing tools are being developed and the KPIs defined. Calculations regarding efficiency, safety and environmental sustainability will contribute to STM validation among other key issues included in the approach. eal
Building on the strategy issued by IMO for 2017 - connecting Ships and Ports - the STM validation project is proud to announce the establishment of an international PortCDM Council. Highly inspired by the airport CDM Council, the PortCDM Council with its global reach, aims to establish the necessary overarching guidelines, processes and procedures to make STM and its PortCDM a successful international concept to improve maritime transport in terms of port operations and ports interaction with ships.
