3. eMAR promoting collaboration in shipping
May-14 Takis Katsoulakos - Collaboration in Shipping 4
• Shipping services are by nature part of a complex
cooperation network which includes:
• Interactions with shippers / charterers and ship suppliers
• Interactions with ports and terminals
• Integration in logistic chains
• Interactions authorities
• The eMAR vision is to empower the European maritime
sector in offering quality shipping services over an
upgraded maritime transport information management
infrastructure supporting interoperable shipping
collaboration networks

Aligning with e-Navigation
The Five Proposed Solutions from
e-Navigation
• Improved, harmonized and user-
friendly bridge design;
• Improved reliability, resilience
and integrity of bridge equipment
and navigation information;
• Means for standardized and
automated reporting;
• Integration and presentation of
available information in graphical
displays received via
communication equipment; and
• Improved Communication of VTS

8. The
e-Maritime Strategic Framework (EMSF)
The EMSF is based upon:
• a set of clearly defined roles that describe responsibilities and
functions;
• a set of reference processes that demonstrate collaboration in e-
shipping operations and end to end transport chains; and
• a set of standardised messages that define the information that
should be communicated between parties in order to:
o Manage ship and fleet operation
o Plan, execute and complete multimodal transport

11. eMAR Ecosystems
• Business Ecosystem for shipping collaboration : business
communities producing and consuming services and exchanging
information compliant with the EMSF messages, and
• Technology Ecosystem enabling shipping collaboration:
semantically enhanced ICT infrastructure supporting
interoperability and cooperation between software services,
enterprise systems and intelligent objects.

BUSINESS ECOSYSTEM

12. eMAR ecosystem
The eMAR Ecosystem comprises of Solutions and
Infrastructure which:
• Support the interoperability and cooperation
between the participants of the eMAR Business
Ecosystem,
• Transform Business Processes to eMAR Software
Services accessible through Internet (SOA)
• Provide entry points (Access Points) to the eMAR
Business Participants to connect and transact
• Uses a Common set of EMSF Messages which are
exchanged between the eMAR Business Participants
for efficient, and unambiguous communications.
May-14 Takis Katsoulakos - Collaboration in Shipping 16

13. Connectivity Infrastructure
• Access Points are main entry point to Technology Ecosystem and
provides controlled access to software services.
• Access Points are configured according to standard message
profiles (TSD, CRS, eMAR messages..) defined within a business
community.
• They include interfaces to connect with services or other Access
points to consume other services and retrieve data.

• Maritime data and application Service Providers
that publish their services in the Ecosystem
• Service Developers that use InleMAR tools to
produce composite (value added) services
• Maritime Service Consumers that use any
service to support their day to day activities

19. InleMAR user options
• Service Providers make services accessible through
• Access Points, easy to connect once and speak with all, and
inheriting common services such as security and notification
• or exposed as a web services
• connection through access points of preconfigured semantics and
characteristics, transparently from the developer / end user.
• Once the application is registered in the Ecosystem, a
user interface is made available in the portal, accessible
from all users
• Custom interfaces (dashboards) are available and
configurable by each type of user
