What’s in it for me?

Ship Owner and Operator

• Fuel savings
  • Route optimization service(immediate)
    • Distance, squat, etc
  • Green steaming to STM ports (better port call synchronization)
• Risk reduction
  • Route cross-checking service (immediate)
  • Monitoring services help avoid groundings (immediate)
  • More precise ice route information in the Baltic Sea (immediate)
  • Ship to ship route exchange – improved common situational awareness empowering the bridge (collision risk primarily)
  • Avoiding collision risks (by adjusting route, flow management)
• Process improvements
  • Weather routes to ECIDIS system (immediate if SMHI)
  • Improved port calls in STM ports: Predicatbility, Turn-around time, (immediate)
    • Some aspect of this benefits also come ships without STM. Internal port improvements. (eg. Resource utilization, see port actors below)
• (Public) Image
  • Reduced emissions (immediate)
  • Better avoiding sensitive areas (immediate?)
  • Less risk of grounding, less risk of badwill
  • A technology leader (immediate)

Port actor

• Common situational awareness reduces lead times
  • Visibility automatically increases efficiency
  • Fewer misunderstandings – less waiting time
  • Both within port AND coordinating the port call with the ships
• Resource utilization
  • Less resources need to be on “stand by”
    • Eg. Maintenance of tugs and pilot boats can be done during day time
  • Reducrion of non value added activitities
    • Eg. Calling to find out status of things
• Common real-time information facilitates replanning
• Opens for efficiency also with the hinterland operators
  • Sharing real-time estimates of cargo operations will be a great first step.
• Leading to improved competitiveness versus non-STM port actors
• Leading to improved competitiveness of the whole port versus non-STM ports
• Potentially shorter port calls lead to less emission in port area

Authority and Government

• Risk reduction
  • Monitoring services help avoid groundings (immediate)
  • More precise ice route information in the Baltic Sea (immediate)
  • Advising ships to avoid collision risks (by adjusting route, flow management)
• Accident response
  • More efficient Search & Rescue (Route sharing)
• Environmental
  • Better avoiding sensitive areas (immediate?)
  • Less risk of grounding, less risk of spill
• Security
  • More efficient analysis of suspicious behavior (monitoring)

Bridge officer

• Fuel (& emission) savings
  • Route optimization service(immediate)
    • Distance, squat, etc
  • Green steaming to STM ports (better port call synchronization)
• Risk reduction
  • Route cross-checking service (immediate)
  • More precise ice route information in the Baltic Sea (immediate)
  • Ship to ship route exchange – improved common situational awareness empowering the bridge (collision risk primarily)
  • Avoiding collision risks (by adjusting route, flow management)
  • Monitoring services help avoid groundings (immediate)
• Process improvements
  • Ice, Pilot and Weather routes to ECIDIS system (immediate)
  • Improved port calls in STM ports: Predicatbility, Turn-around time, (immediate)
    • Some aspect of this benefits also come ships without STM. Internal port improvements. (eg. Resource utilization, see port actors below)
  • Automated pre-arrival reporting (work in progress)

Service Provider

• Larger available customer base (Standardised open API in open ecosystem)
• Lower threshold for customers to introduce your service (less internal system adjustments)
• Lower cost of introducing new services
• Possibility to mesh your service with other services

Cargo Owner

• Increased predictability of goods arrival and departures
• The future possibility to have detailed knowledge of the goods all the way through the maritime part of the logistics chain
• More efficient ports – shorter handling time
• Easier planning together with logistics actors
