For efficient, safe and environmentally friendly maritime transpor
MONALISA is a Motorways of the Sea project which aims at giving a concrete contribution to the efficient, safe and environmentally friendly maritime transport.
This is done through development, demonstration and dissemination of innovative e-navigational services to the shipping industry, which can lay the groundwork for a future international deployment. Quality assurance of hydrographic data for the major navigational areas in Swedish and Finnish waters in the Baltic Sea contributes to improving safety and optimization of ship routes.
The Swedish Maritime Administration has initiated an extension of the ongoing MONALISA project, called MONALISA 2.0, through a renewed application to the European Commission’s TEN-T program.
MONALISA 2.0 is a concrete step in the process of further developing the Motorways of the Sea concept by implementing concrete pilot actions and studies that will foster deployment of new maritime services and processes.
The geographical scope of the partnership covers the Baltic Sea, North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea and encompasses the EU Member States Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Malta and Greece as well as the neighbouring country Norway.
“Accessibility, safety and environmental awareness are key factors for all transport modes. It is gratifying to see that Sweden continues to be a leading innovative player, not least in shipping, currently in the form of MONALISA 2.0,”saysCatharina Elmsäter-Svärd, the Swedish Minister for Infrastructure.
