Smart Maritime Future in the Baltic Sea Region: Seminar in Copenhagen to present the latest advances in e-navigation

27-11-2025

The Baltic Sea is one of the world’s busiest and most environmentally sensitive sea areas, making safe and efficient navigation essential. On 3 December 2025 at the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen, three ongoing projects join forces to present the latest advances in digital and resilient maritime e-navigation at a full-day seminar with presentations, demonstrations, and interactive workshops. The seminar in Copenhagen is organised by the three Interreg Baltic Sea Region–funded projects ORMOBASS, MaDaMe, and Baltic Sea e-Nav.

The Interreg Baltic Sea Region funded projects ORMOBASS, MaDaMe, and Baltic Sea e-Nav work with development of complementary solutions that enhance maritime safety, harmonise digital navigation standards, and support the implementation of the IMO e-navigation strategy across the region.

The Danish Geodata Agency (Geodatastyrelsen) is actively involved in shaping the future of maritime navigation in the Baltic Sea region. As a participant in the project Baltic Sea e-Nav, the Danish Geodata Agency contributes to the development of next-generation digital navigation standards and to ensuring that maritime information services across the region become more robust, harmonised, and future-proof.

The seminar gathers maritime authorities, technology developers, researchers, and industry stakeholders to share insights into the next generation of S-100–based navigation services, solutions for navigating through GNSS interference, and new digital maritime information services.

Agenda Highlights

  • Baltic Sea e-Nav: Standardised next-generation navigation information for cross-border use
  • ORMOBASS: Reliable positioning using R-Mode and GNSS interference detection
  • MaDaMe: Piloting digital fairway services and modern messaging tools based on the IHO S-100 framework
  • Interactive workshops:
    • R-Mode equipment developments
    • Live S-124 navigational warnings
    • Traffic clearance services (S-212)
    • Technical deep dives into S-100 and related standards
