2014 Feb – Maritime Executive – Sea Traffic Management Ready for Next Step

The Swedish Maritime Administration has announced it is leading the largest European e-navigation project, MONALISA 2.0. The main objective of MONALISA 2.0 is to commercialize the Sea Traffic Management (STM) concept developed by the first phase of the MONALISA project which saw the development of hardware and software that enables real-time exchange of optimized routes from shore to ship and visa versa. Additionally, the systems developed provide the ability to simplify and monitor a ship’s navigation through improved IT and information sharing capabilities.
