Sea Traffic Management, STM, is implemented on three pillars: data standards, a standardized infrastructure and services. SMA has helped establish the standards needed, we provide several services to ships coming to Sweden and sailing in the Baltic Sea. Navelink is the operational infrastructure provider that completes the whole picture, says Ulf Siwe, Swedish Maritime Administration, SMA.
We are very honored by the Swedish Maritime Administration continued engagement, and we welcome all actors, private and public, to join the growing ecosystem for information sharing, both as users and as consortium members.
