MESA’s Main Objectives Establish a network of Maritime actors in order to improve cooperation between the stakeholders and to strengthen the effectiveness of the research and innovation capabilities. Cluster relevant research projects (EU and National) and assess the State-of-the-Art of the technology and its development. Propose themes for the updating the WATERBORNE TP Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda and Implementation Plan; Dissemination of the results achieved; identify show cases and successful demonstration activities MESA Supports WATERBORNE-TP

MESA’s Structure and Integration

*ICT is considered more enabler than trend MESA’s Foresight Support Group Strategy Trend Interdependencies

Waterborne Trade Growth Growth of waterborne trade is driven by economic growth of developing countries and global growth in demand for food, water and technological products. Impacts on all waterborne sectors : Significant increase of throughput in sea ports Drivers for infrastructure investments are port congestion, insufficient intermodal connection and increasing vessel size With an increased trend to use alternative fuels (LNG, hydrogen, methanol, ethanol, biodiesel, biogas), trade of these fuels around the world will increase

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) The fast development in information and communication technologies will increase digitalisation in all waterborne sectors Impacts on all waterborne sectors: Digitalisation will have significant influence on how assets are designed and operated Higher degree of systems automation, availability of smart sensors and global networks for data transfer between ship and shore will push remote controlled, semi or fully autonomous operation of assets. Interconnectivity required to secure systems and operations against cyber attacks

Available e-Maritime Technologies A review has been made of Available Technologies in e-Maritime in the areas of: Ship Operations; e-Navigation; Port Operations and the Logistics Chain, concentrating on technologies in areas relevant to current and future WATERBORNE TP priorities The following slide summarises the Available Technologies for Port Operations: 14

Available Technologies for Port Operations European research projects related to ports have focussed on three main areas: port management and operations, infrastructures, and multi-modal traffic in port terminals. The common objective was to help achieve higher levels of efficiency in ports This research has provided important information for logistics and multimodal transport operations and processes, or how they can be improved, through the application of new support technologies, such ICT and simple data exchanges ICT is the main technology and recent research has focused on integrating web-based systems for multimodal transport logistics and port networking, within the e-maritime framework 15

Key Research Priorities based on the gaps Port Operations and Ship-Shore Interfaces: Development of Intelligent holistic solutions for the efficient management of ships in ports, integrated with Urban Mobility Plans and solutions Optimisation of interconnectivity between transport modes Development of existing interoperable e-Maritime systems, (PCS, SW, CCS, TOS, TMS, etc.) Developments to improve interoperability and integration between transport modes, including advanced logistic chain management systems and operational tools 16

Expected Technologies for e-maritime: In the maritime transport sector, vast amounts of data are available that could support new business opportunities to improve ship and port operation and logistics The intelligent use of data and advanced ICT technologies will further develop port community systems for optimising daily operations The use of real-time monitoring, and improved management and the optimisation of traffic in port areas, will also help facilitate the intermodal logistics chain 17

Expected Technologies for future digital maritime applications: Wireless communication technology Information gathering, validation, fusion and situational awareness Maritime Cloud Big Data Analytics (for business, navigation, security and safety decision making etc.) Sensors Internet of Things Web
