WELCOME ON BOARD!STM VALIDATION PROJECT
Welcome on board STM!What is the concept of Sea Traffic Management (STM)?STM is an information sharing framework that primarily deals with the benefits that different parties can get if they share their route with others in real time. This is one of the fundamental pillars of STM: The shipping company/ship is always the information owner and shares the information they want with the parties they want.But we believe in the principle, you share, you win. The more players that share, the better the common position and the more you can optimize.
What is STM Validation Project?
The purpose with the project is to validate the effects of STM with regards to Safety, Environment and Efficiency. In the STM Validation Project, we will validate the concepts by collecting data and opinions from connected ships, Shore Centres, external services and ports. We do this in the test beds in the Mediterranean and the Nordic countries, but also in the European Maritime Simulator Network (EMSN), which is a simulator network of up to 30 simulator bridges around Europe that can operate in the same scenario.
But the most important part of the project is the vessels. We are very pleased to have 300 vessels in the World's largest marine test bed. You are the ones on board that can test, evaluate and give us opinions that lead STM forward. We look forward to having you as pilots for the project and being able to share your thoughts and experiences. We are building future navigation together!
Welcome on board STM!Who wins what?The concept is built on a just-in-time philosophy and in order to arrive, just in time, we need some help on the way. In order to gain access to all the information that you can benefit from, a lot of searching has to be done and if you trade to a lot of different countries, this is not that easy. But it is not just about information available today but also about new information and in STM, the new information comes from the vessels. With the ships sharing their voyage plan you can optimize for various things. To a great extent, it is already done today within large shipping companies that have the resources for it, but here we open up a market that everyone can use.
The central feature is that the routes are shared directly from and to an ECDIS, which allows you to see suggested routes, cut and paste and use the parts you want directly on the ECDIS. You can retrieve nautical information about the passage such as if there are any current Navigation Warnings on one's route or accept one of the Pilot suggested routes into the port. Shore Centres can actively monitor ships in their area of responsibility, not only if they are following their route at any moment but also if they have planned properly according to the latest information available.
Ports can get information of a ships ETA and Planned Time of Arrival (PTA) at a much earlier stage and this can make the port call much more efficient. Because of the port's ability to collaborate by means of the “Port CDM tool”, they can also convey a time when all port operators can receive the ship. This enables you to decide on slowing down and conducting “Just-In-Steaming" during the passage with the potential to save bunkers thereby having a positive impact on the environment etc.An amazing side effect of this information sharing will be that ships will be able to share routes with each other. That is, you can see another vessel's current route in your own ECDIS. Here, however, you will only share a segment of the route, which will be transmitted over the AIS system, because the AIS bandwidth is not sufficient to share more. STM helps you plan a traffic situation before you end up in it. Here comes our second pillar: STM should not be used in COLREG situations. That is, when you are in a close quarter situation, always observe COLREGs

Expected Involvement from ships
• Use services - Ships are expected to share their voyageplan with shore centres and make use of appropriate STM-services
• Questionaires/Interviews - Will be held with crew members to validate the concept. The project ask you to Log ship to ship route exchange experiences in user forum, possibility to effect future systems!
• STM Validation centre - A Service that the project for validation purposes request all ships to always share their voyage plan with

1. Voyage (UVID)
• A voyage is a ”route” that has a schedule ”attached”, including departure and arrival time/date
• UVID=unique Voyage ID• One Voyage ID (UVID) per voyage between two consecutive
ports, berth to berth• New Voyage when?
A new voyage is ”started” when departing from a destination. A new Voyage ID must be set, automatically or manual, on the new voyage when it is planned and shared with other actors.
• UVID will/might be essential for hinterland communication regarding cargo etc.
• Even though shipping companies today might have a voyage number for a “roundtrip”, within the STM Validation project, each (as described above) voyage shall have an unique UVID
2. Route status• In STM the Route (Voyage plan) might have the following
statuses:
1. Original2. Planned for voyage3. Optimized4. Cross checked 5. Safety Checked6. Approved7. Used for monitoring8. Inactive
• For flowchart describing above, visit User Forum
3. Arrival times in STM
• ETA: Estimated Time of Arrival (Basedon present speed and distance to go, might include schedule)
• PTA: Planned Time of Arrival (Based on planned speed and distances to go)
• RTA: Recommended Time Of Arrival(Ports Recommended Time of Arrivalfor a ship to e.g. Pilot BoardingGround)
4. Shore Centre
• A shore centre (SC) is similar to a VTS, the SC is covering a larger geographical area than a VTS. The services offered by the SC are user-selectable.
• A shore centre can receive and display ship´s Voyage and send proposed changes in return.
• A Shore centre can perform Enhanced monitoring among other services. Visit user forum for more information
• Tarifa SC – Spanish Mediterranean Coast• Kvitsöy SC – Entrance to Stavanger
Norway• Horten SC – Entrance to Oslo• Gothenburg SC – Swedish West Coast and
Baltic Region• SC - Joint Operation Centre Denmark• Tallin SC – Finnish Gulf (TBD)• St Petersburg SC (TBD)

6. Port Synchronisation (PortCDM)
• Port Synchronisation: Ship communicate their PTA and, if possible, their ETA to the port. Port may respond with RTA to the ship based on status and readiness from actors in the port.
• Swift communications about arrival times will enable more just in time arrivals
• Port Collaborative Decision Making (PortCDM): Within a port, all different actors e.g. Linesmen, Tugboats, Stevedores etc. are sharing the same “picture” regarding a ship´s port call, enabling better planning and collective information regarding ETA/ETD for the ship to/from the port
7. SeaSWIM• Sea System Wide Information Management
(SeaSWIM)• Defines a common vocabulary and secure
communication patterns that enables an interoperable sharing of information between existing systems – RTZ (New International Route format) is one of the
common vocabularies– VIS is one of the common communication patterns– Secure exchanges is supported by requirements on
encryption, authentication mechanisms, etc.• Provides software and guidance to support actors
to connect, translate and share existing information

SSC – SeaSWIM Connector
9. VIS
• VIS = Voyage Information Service• The VIS will be serving as the ship´s
representation that will allways be online, e.g. if a Voyageplan (VP) is sent to a ship, when the ship is not online, the VIS will make sure the VP will be forwarded to the ship when it´s online again.
• The VIS will make sure that all message contentsthat are used in STM is following the standards that are setup
10. Service
• A service is an action that provide support or work to someone
• The work done by a service can be fully automated or it can include manual work by a human.
• A service can be related to a specific geolocation or generic for the whole world
• A information service supports the operation service with information exchange, e.g. Voyage Information Service
• Available services are registered in Service Registry
Example• A ship can ask for enhanced monitoring as a service from a shore centre• A ship can ask for route optimization from a service provider• A ship or a shore centre can ask for pilot routes from a service that provides pilot
routes.
11. Service and Identity Registry
• When a search for a service is done in the STM ship system, the service registry is called
• Service Registry (SR) is a catalogue with information ofservices
• Service Registry contain all necessary information a consumerneed to use a service
• Service Registry is searchable with both text and geography• Service Registry is open to read, but specific access is required
to update or register a new service• Identity Registry (IR) is a catalogue of identities grouped in
organisations, users, devices, vessels and services• Service Registry and Identity Registry are a core parts of the
Maritime Connectivity Platform
