MaDaMe Project
Shaping the Future of e-Navigation – MaDaMe Project Final Seminar
The future of safe and efficient navigation is driven by digitalization, co-operation, and the shift toward the S-100 framework for harmonized data exchange.
Within the EU its Interreg Baltic Sea Region co-funded MaDaMe project has supported this transition by piloting digital maritime services and improving information sharing between stakeholders.
The MaDaMe project has not only advanced the implementation of digital fairway services in the Baltic Sea region but also provides valuable input to ongoing international standardization efforts.
IALA participation
IALA participates in the project as an Associate Organization and serves as the principal international body through which the project’s technical service concepts and outcomes contribute to the development of international maritime standards.
