enabling the entire NAPA community to exchange information.
Initially, it was necessary to improve the existing port community systems
in order to harmonize them.

MIELE project worked on the design of an ICT platform (MIELE


middleware) able to interface existing systems for ship reporting
formalities (such as national/port SW or proprietary PCS), in order to
make them fully interoperable, as required by the Directive 2010/65 EU.
The platform will be tested through pre-deployment pilots in Italy, Cyprus,
Germany, Portugal and Spain (the National Vertical Pilots), where the
local ICT systems for ship reporting are made interoperable by interfacing
with the MIELE Middleware.

Action

Project

Sub-area

Issues

The main goal of MEDNET is the development of a common framework


of understanding of customs procedures and the clearance of vessels.
Some of the pilot actions proposed include:
1. Analysis, enhancements and recommendations of procedures for
lodging the Summary Declaration for Temporary Storage
2. Introduction, promotion, extension of electronic and automatic
processing of T2L declarations of goods transported by sea
3. Introduction of electronic monitoring mechanisms for improving
customs, sanitary, phytosanitary and veterinary controls
4. Management of car, coaches and truck movements/parking in and
outside port area
5. Berth allocation for RO-RO,RO-PAX, cruise ships
6. EXS/ENS collaborative solutions amongst ports
7. Master plan to be used as a guide for the set-up of a national
single window in Malta.

Project

Sub-area

Issues

It was carried out a web service that supports the Booking process between
the Consigners and Freight Integrators and between the Freight Integrators
and the Service Providers.
The Web Service is accessible by SOAP 1.2 over HTTP. This Web Service is used
to setup track and trace information from several providers to the PORTMOS
system.

MED.I.T.A. project aims to implement a Cargo Community System by a


technology transfer borrowed from the experience gained in TEN-T project
MOS4MOS. The system promotes the implementation of Motorways of the Sea
to overcome the territorial boundaries: all vehicles departures and arrivals will
be tracked down and recorded in a single data system. This procedure will
provide a common platform to be shared by Valencia, Livorno, Ancona and
Patras, through the low-cost technology passive R-FID UHF tags. This
application will speed up the access control operations and data acquisition
process besides security procedures.

that can be used in house to develop own models at a more detailed level and
for specific purposes (risk assessments, process improvements, introduction of
new ICT systems etc.).

In the framework of the TIMI project (funded by Spanish Government)


new technologies and methodologies were developed to permit the
creation of the future generation of devices, systems and tools
contributing to making such transport more intelligent.
It was developed a Web simulator that shows the different
interactions along the whole freight transport chain (TIMI Web
Simulator)
It was studied the current data holdings (such as barcodes, RFID
and plus smart cards) as the way to interchange data in safe
mode in container transport.
Detection of risk situations due to strong shaking of transport
modes.

Improving the integration of ports with their hinterland


Action

Project

Sub-area

Issues

The project intends to make freight and passenger flows


seamless by means of experimental activities and pilot
projects concerning interoperable information systems
which integrate port systems with inland logistics
infrastructures (e.g. dry ports) and with transport and
service operators. Some of the objectives are the
development of an intermodal rail transport connecting ports
with their areas of influence and an interoperable
information systems and solutions to improve the efficiency
of port-logistics systems.

The objective of the STIMULO project is to develop intelligent


traffic management systems by predicting in real-time the
status of the various components of the transport system
(infrastructure, vehicles, goods, users, etc). The principal
elements of the infrastructure under proposal include the
simulation model, data mining from heterogeneous sensors
in real-time, generating traffic indicators and using these
indicators jointly with collective intelligence techniques to
provide services linked to the transport system that improve
performance and efficiency.
