MISSION started in January 2024. It aims to digitalise the maritime sector in order to enhance maritime safety and protect people’s health by reducing port traffic, associated costs and GHG emissions.
Delays within the maritime supply chain can lead to a “hurry-up-and-wait” syndrome of vessels sailing at a predetermined speed to their destination port to find the terminal or port not ready thus waiting at anchorage in the port area.
MISSION will develop an interoperable digital real-time-based optimisation and decision support tool enabling coordinated port call operations planning and execution in terms of time, fuel consumption, environmental impact, and safety spanning the overall maritime supply chain. Stakeholders benefit from increased transparency and information sharing between shipping companies, terminals, ports, and service providers, enabling the optimisation of their resource and capacity planning.
The project lasts 42 months and it’s coordinated by SYDDANSK UNIVERSITET involving 30 partners by 11 different countries: Denmark, Spain, Italy, Greek, Lithuania, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Holland, Belgium and UK.

More informationE-BRIDGE originated with the objective to develop intangible infrastructure in support of the gradual digitisation of data exchange across the Port of Genoa.
E-Bridge integrates seamlessly with port operations in relation to the optimisation of heavy vehicle fluidity, the automation of port access and terminal gates and the creation of buffer zones.
