Nordic+ webinar: The future of Maritime ITS and next steps

Join us for the launch of the Nordic+ Maritime ITS network, a collaborative strategic initiative to make maritime ITS a positive force in intermodal transport! This network will facilitate the sharing of ideas across industry stakeholders and international borders to optimise maritime operations and intermodal connectivity.

The ITS community is committed to promoting an integrated intelligent transport system across all modes and all types of transport. Much focus has so far been on road transport. Still, as maritime transport is critical for the world in terms of value, volume, and security, increasing attention to this mode is necessary. This is particularly important for countries on the outskirts of Europe, where the maritime sector is critical also for national transport needs. It is also recognised that the maritime sector represents an international community. Any measures or solutions proposed to improve operation in the sector or on its interfaces to other modes should have a global perspective.

We will focus on digitalisation, automation, and standardisation, with the aim of developing a maritime ITS architecture that clarifies how different standards and specifications work together across the maritime domain. It will also be crucial to define how this architecture can best be linked to the other transport modes that the maritime sector needs to interface with.

The network’s success will depend on active involvement from the start, so join us on this interactive webinar on the 24th of May as we set sail together!
