The Baltic Sea e-Nav project is dedicated to modernizing the digital navigation tools for maritime navigation, in the Baltic region. To improve not only navigation itself but also efficiency, safety and aiding in elevating the green footprint of our oceans. By unlocking the value of Baltic Sea big data and kickstarting the implementation of cutting-edge S-100 navigational products, we aim to enhance and expand existing data sets. This will provide ships with advanced digital navigation, that will give a more detailed picture of the maritime weather and ocean status, easing the voyage planning and overall navigation.

Transnational cooperation is at the heart of the project, ensuring these new tools are available everywhere, preventing delays, and benefiting all countries around the Baltic Sea despite varying maturity levels. This cooperation is crucial for enhancing shipping efficiency and aligning with the EUSBSR goals for a sustainable blue economy.Our first objective is to empower data producers to generate next-generation navigational products by enhancing their capabilities and upgrading systems to S-100 standards. Secondly, we aim to harmonize these products regionally under the Baltic Sea Hydrographic Commission (BSHC), ensuring a uniform user experience.

By rolling out the Baltic Sea e-Nav base package, we will facilitate easier navigation and lay the groundwork for future automation and greener, safer shipping practices. Even after the project ends, the partnership will continue to improve and expand these navigation tools, supported by a strong international governance model. Through these efforts, we aim to make the Baltic Sea a model of safe, efficient, and eco-friendly shipping practices.
