STM Validation Project
STM Validation – seeing is believing
The STM Validation Project will demonstrate the STM concept in large-scale test beds in both the Nordic and Mediterranean Seas. The key strategic enablers of STM will be tested and validated. The STM Validation Project has a total budget of approximately 43 million euro and runs from 2015-2019 (project extension from December 2018 to June 2019).The project encompasses:
- 300 ships
- 13 ports
