MarNIS Demonstrators
The first of the MarNIS demonstrators was held in Genoa, Italy from 23rd to 25th September 2008.The objective of this demonstrator was to present the main findings from the MarNIS project in such a way as to demonstrate not only the individual elements but also emphasize the interaction and interoperability of the concepts of Maritime Information Management (MIM) and Maritime Operational Services (MOS) as proposed in MarNIS.It was the aim to provide the audience with the complete picture of what the MarNIS concept could mean for maritime authorities and administrations as well as the shipping community at large in the years 2012-2020 with particular focus on maritime safety, efficiency and protection of the environment.Further, it was the aim to demonstrate how MarNIS had recognised existing technologies and those under development, whilst firmly placing the main emphasis on the organisational and legal aspects.
On 15-16 October 2008 other, more port and pilot related aspects of MarNIS will be demonstrated, this time in Lisbon(Portugal), which highlights innovations for more efficient port entry and increases the level of awareness.
