The meaning of life?

Logistics is the main vein of the society

people, goods, services, documents, money

Society builds up the infrastructure national (ports, fairways, communication, surveillance) international (communication, regulation, surveillance)

Society has interests in the logistic chain

safety of transports (traffic, ship), people and environment security of transports taxation of transports

Society needs information (in electric format) reporting formalities, surveillance delivery of the information to public use

passenger, position information flag, port and coastal state status statistics and analysis (economic trends, criminal and terrorist acts)

How about the Navigator? Or enterprise? What is their share? better information sharing, better situational awareness ? Easier procedures?

Use / Benefits of Information

Together with the industry, the authorities play a keyrole in making the information available to the extentpossible within the legal framework and securityaspects

Meet the challenges of the logistic market with theexploitation of maritime information
