3. 1. MONALISA Project - Introduction
In early 2010, Sweden and the Swedish Maritime Administration initiated a
Motorways of the Sea project of wider benefit – MONALISA project (2010-EU-
21109-S). MONALISA proceeded on the basis of the challenges facing the Baltic
Sea region in the area of maritime transport, challenges that are outlined in the EU
Strategy for the Baltic region. Sweden and Denmark were the Implementing Bodies
of the Project.
The project was co-financed by TEN-T under the Motorways of the Sea
Programme, with a budget amount of 22,4 Million Euro – 50% paid by the EC

4. 1.MONALISA Project – Introduction:
MONALISA project was divided into four activities, all of which contributed to the
achievement of the planned objectives aimed at making a concrete contribution to
efficient, safe and environmentally friendly maritime transport. This has been done
through the development, demonstration and dissemination of innovative e-navigation
services to the shipping industry as follows:
• Dynamic and proactive route planning – “Green Routes”;
• Verification System for officer certification;
• Quality assurance of hydrographic data, and
• Global sharing of maritime information

5. 2. MONALISA 2.0
The Costa Concordia disaster gave impetus to the process of sharpening e-navigation
globally; The ship sank after it capsized at Isola dei Giglio, Tuscany, on 13 January
2012 accident, 32 people died.
Again in 2014, The South Korean ferry Sewol sank off the South Korean coast on 15th
April with the likely loss of more than 300 passengers.
Even the technology available is highly developed in terms of equipment, manning,
communications, etc., something happens:
• Misuse of technology,
• Lack in the decision making processes supported by proper risk assessment tools,
• Crisis management deficiencies from the ship side,
• Difficulties in coordinating the response actions between the Coast Guard services
and the crew
• Human factor is still being the main incidents cause against the safer and more
developed ships and equipment today.

MONALISA 2.0 project takes the results from MONALISA project and is aimed to
extend them in the way that several safety and operational aspects of the current
Maritime Transport Industry may be improved dismissing or eliminating sever
accidents like the mentioned above.

8. 2. MONALISA 2.0
“MONALISA 2.0 will also make use of relevant results from earlier Motorways of the Sea
projects, maritime R&D projects and re-use best practices from other areas in an effort to
bring these further towards deployment in the maritime sector. The goal is that this will
foster innovations and deployment of new technologies and systems to increase
efficiency, safety, effectiveness and environmental sustainability of Motorways of the
Sea. This shall be demonstrated through:
• testing of concrete applications and services which would allow rapid commercial
deployment;
• integration of route planning tools with additional environmental information and
maritime spatial planning for the purpose of improving maritime safety and environmental
protection;
• joint private-public action to elaborate better standards for route information exchange
through a common interface and common data format allowing equipment from all
manufacturers be used for Sea Traffic management;
• demonstrating concrete/hands-on services using new technology and training to
enhance maritime safety, making Search and Rescue and mass-evacuations more
efficient than today and by addressing the urgent issue of safety in ports;
• re-using results of previous EU investments in Air Traffic Management as well as
from other sectors and their application into the maritime domain.”

9. 2. MONALISA 2.0
To reach these objectives, the MONALISA 2.0 project has been defined according four
complementary activities that will be implemented until 31st December 2015.

10. 2. MONALISA 2.0
39 EU companies and 10 Countries, 24 Million Euro, 50% EU Co-Founding

11. 3. ML2 Activity 1 – Sea Traffic Management, Operations and Tools
The aim of this activity is to verify and further develop operational and technical
aspects that support the Sea Traffic Management concept of ship monitoring and
coordination through route exchange between ships and shore centres, dynamic
separation schemes and time slot allocation in congested waters.
This will be achieved through establishing a virtual Sea Traffic Coordination Centre
(STCC) and engaging several European maritime simulator facilities that will be
interconnected in macro simulations using a large number of simulated ships.
TRANSAS, RHEINMETAL and Kongsberg are involved. The activity will implement the
following:
• STM Standard Operating Procedures and Human Machine Interface;
• STM Common Technical Protocol;
• Extended Test-bed;
• Shore-based Deep Sea Assistance;
• Integration of tools for decision support, route planning and anomaly detection;
• Further integration of Maritime Spatial Planning in Dynamic and Proactive Route
planning
Finally the activity will perform the conceptual test and demonstration

14. 4. ML2 Activity 2 – Sea Traffic Management, Definition Phase
Sea Traffic Management (STM) is a concept encompassing all actors, actions, and
systems (infrastructure) assisting maritime transport from port to port. STM is a part of
the multimodal logistics chain, encompassing sea as well as shore based operations.
STM is a network-based approach for optimal Intermodal Sea Transport. STM is
performed on multiple actor levels, where each engaged actor co‐produces traffic
management. It is inspired in the Air Traffic Management system implemented by the
SESAR Project.
To define the STM concept, the following tasks has been plan:
• Current Situation analysis
• Performance Targets
• Target Concept
• Strategic Roadmap
• Master Plan
• Work Programme

15. 4. ML2 Activity 2 – Sea Traffic Management, Definition Phase
Five enabling concepts
defined:
• Port CDM
• Strategic Voyage

• Dynamic Voyage

• Flow Management
• Wide Information

19. 5. ML2 Activity 3 – Safer Ships
Under MONALISA 2.0 advanced ICT technologies and Methods and tools used in
other industrial sectors are being implementing, testing and demonstrating by
means of pilot applications. The Italian Ministry of transport leads this activity
and is managing its implementation according to the following topics:
• Behaviour Based Safety (BBS) approach in the maritime sector.
• Pilot application of a new system of chart engines and displays integrated with
MONALISA 2.0 in order to share information and search patterns among all
participants, including shore units, in the event of a SAR operation.
• NETWORKED VESSEL – pilot application of ICT-based indoor positioning and
guidance in an emergency.
• The Safe Evacuation System will evaluate and demonstrate the effectiveness of a
system to perform evacuation operations on board passenger ships, and which will
be operational in extreme conditions.
• Cost Benefit Analysis.

20. 5. ML2 Activity 3 – Safer Ships

21. 6. ML2 Activity 4 – Operational Safety
MONALISA 2.0 is not only a concept for preventing accidents to
happen. If accidents happen, and they unfortunately do, there should
be systems in place to respond efficiently to them. It is also essential to
have preparedness and to coordinate actions between different actors
and between different systems, in ports and at sea.
Benefits for the maritime sector:
• Safety : Improving the performance of SAR operations
• Environment: Reducing the risk of spills and other hazardous
materials pollution
• Efficiency: optimal management of rescue and evacuation of people
during incidents or accidents by means of properly trained human
resources
