Making maritime
shipping more
sustainable by
optimising port call
efficiency to reduce
emissions and to
enhance safety

MISSION aims to minimise maritime shipping waiting time in ports to increase efficiency, enhance safety, and decrease port traffic, costs, and emissions.

MISSION is developing an interoperable digital real-time-based optimisation and decision-support tool to provide more coordinated planning and execution of port call operations in terms of time, fuel consumption, environmental impact, and safety spanning the overall maritime supply chain.

Stakeholders benefit from increased transparency and information sharing between shipping companies, terminals, ports, and service providers, which help optimize their resources and capacity planning including port’s hinterland modalities in compliance with the 2006 Maritime Labor Convention – also known as the Seafarer’s Bill of Rights.

Demo Sites

To demonstrate how digital solutions enhance coordination, transparency, and efficiency in maritime logistics, MISSION is implementing five case studies in six major European ports of Valencia (Spain), Piraeus (Greece), Genoa (Italy), Trieste (Italy), Hamina Kotka (Finland), and Klaipeda (Lithuania). These 5 Cases include 6 Demonstration Sites where innovative data-sharing practices and technologies are tested in operational settings. Covering container, RoRo, and bulk shipping, they advance Just-In-Time arrivals, smarter customs processes, and improved port call planning across Europe’s main shipping corridors.
