eMAR

The objective of e-Maritime is to make maritime transport safer, more secure, more environmentally friendly and more competitive. To do so, e-Maritime must reduce the complexities that hinder networking between stakeholders, increase the automation of operational processes — particularly compliance management — and streamline synthesised information from disparate sources to support decision making.

The eMAR approach enables extensive participation of the European maritime public, business and research community in a knowledge development process that leads to the specification of the e-Maritime Strategic Framework, through multiple iterations across stages and stakeholders.

Key aspects of the strategic framework

1. Market surveys, conducted by a leading company in the field, to identify the business drivers and requirement priorities of different stakeholder groups.
2. Stakeholder needs analysis, using knowledge of technology and architectural capabilities from projects such as MarNIS, Freightwise, EFFORTS, Flagship and SKEMA, to identify new processes and functionalities.
3. Implications for standardisation, and standardisation strategies for areas that cannot rely on developments elsewhere.
4. Measures to address legal and organisational inconsistencies at national and regional levels, human factors and change management.
5. Interfaces with SafeSeaNet, e-Freight and e-Customs, National Single Windows, Galileo and e-Navigation developments.
6. Cost–benefit analysis of new business models, and the corresponding legal changes, that rely on e-Maritime services.
