STM VALIDATION 1.3 – Improving port operations using PortCDM 3 ExeCutive summary Over the last couple of decades and specifically in the last few years, various initiatives have been launched in the maritime domain to overcome the traditional narrow view of focusing exclusively on optimising individual actor-specific processes. However, since most processes are shared among several actors, it is necessary to share information to support collaborative decision-making, and for efficiency reasons, exchange of information has to be in a standardized format. Secondly, it has become increasingly clear that, as in the aviation sector and more generally across commerce, it is necessary for the maritime sector to go through a digital transformation. Digitalisation will enable collaboration and better-informed decision-making in the maritime industry which, in turn, will substantially improve the overall efficiency, effectiveness and innovation in the international transport and logistic supply chains. Prior initiatives, including BLAST, MONALISA and MONALISA 2.0 promoted digitalisation to enable data sharing to create improved situational awareness thereby enhancing safety and efficiency of the maritime transport sector. The Sea Traffic Management (STM) Validation project was the logical result. The STM validation project aims to validate the envisioned concepts through sea trials and simulation. Activity 1 - PortCDM testbeds, is one of five activities in the STM validation project. It has focussed on Port Collaborative Decision Making (PortCDM), a concept inspired by the aviation sector where Airport CDM (A-CDM) is already well established. The concept is now beginning to be embraced by the rail transport sector. The purpose of PortCDM is to support the port call optimisation process by promoting: • The extension of the planning horizons through intra port collaboration, ship-to-port collaboration, port-to-hinterland collaboration, and inter port collaboration. • The sharing of the timing of future events for the coordination of the port call process • The combination of multiple sources of data for enhanced predictability • Shared situational awareness by sharing data on the progress of a port call among internal and external involved actors For this purpose, PortCDM has been developed to meet the needs of a concept that would: • enable real-time standardised information sharing of time stamps between actors involved in port calls • enable just-in-time approaches by synchronising the ship’s approach to the port with the port’s ability to serve the ship for its purpose of call • provide situational awareness as a basis for actors’ coordination of their actions performed in relation to forthcoming and on-going port calls In this way, PortCDM contributes to the enhancement of integrated operations between actors involved in: • the port call, avoiding unnecessary waiting times • managing inbound and outbound cargo/passengers efficiently • coordinating the ships’ sea voyages and the port approach, reducing unnecessary waiting times (anchoring times) for ship outside the port • securing a smooth and precise transport timetable from port to hinterland of cargo and passengers STM VALIDATION 1.3 – Improving port operations using PortCDM 4 PortCDM is thus an essential part of STM. It develops and utilises standardised data sharing between ships and all relevant ports call operators by providing port-call information, mainly timestamps and related metadata to create a joint situational awareness based on shared time stamps. The Port Call Message Format (PCMF) has been developed to enable the different actors to share standardised and interoperable data to gain better situational awareness and improve their operations to increase the efficiency of the port call. It also allows the optimisation of the sea voyage, as the ships get information on when the port can best serve them and, with this information, allows them to sail “Just-In-Time” to reduce fuel consumption and improve their environmental footprint. The PCMF, to be known as standard S-211, was used extensively during the validation project. S-211 is based upon and fully conformant with the S-100 data exchange baseline format that is internationally recognised and endorsed by the IMO as the baseline format for its e-Navigation concept. The PortCDM concept has now been validated in nine ports clustered into two testbeds - the Mediterranean and the Nordic testbeds. This report describes the result of this validation. During the validation process, port call actors have interacted in continuously arranged living lab workshops, they have run focus months in which software for data sharing has been utilised for data sharing. This software, working as a PortCDM demonstrator by reflecting the design principles of PortCDM, has consisted both of back-end and front-end services. The validation has been captured both in qualitative analysis through interviews, questionnaires and collaborative reflections and quantitative analysis of the captured data that has been shared in the port environment. Over 1.7 million timestamps were shared successfully in the ports utilizing the demonstrator, based on the design principles of the PortCDM concept. The principles of PortCDM were implemented successfully in the participating ports. The qualitative analysis of the results of the PortCDM validation project shows that enhanced situational awareness, provided by the data sharing enabled by PortCDM is of value to participants. The participants pointed out that an increased reliability of ETAs and ETDs for port actions has substantial benefits. Enhanced situational awareness as facilitated by PortCDM provided port call actors with access to more reliable data and a greater awareness of other actors’ intentions. Enhanced situational awareness was shown to provide positive effects for operations, including: • Making better estimates for ETAs and ETDs (100% of respondents agreed ‘to some extent’ or ‘more’ with this conclusion) • Improved work procedures (> 50 % agreed to some extent or more) • Reduced time spent on information gathering (> 80 % agreed to some extent or more) • Reduction of administrative workload (> 80 % agreed to some extent or more) PortCDM is not simply a technical enabler for sharing data based on the standardised PCMF. Importantly, PortCDM is a new and innovative operational concept that suggests and requires a change to the collaboration culture in ports and between port and ship so as to build the necessary operational and cultural foundation for optimal use of the technical concepts to achieve the desired outcomes. This requires attitudinal changes among the actors in the maritime transportation chain. The validation process took significant effort to foster the required changes in attitude and ways of interacting between the various actors. In particular, the use of living labs was most STM VALIDATION 1.3 – Improving port operations using PortCDM 5 successful in getting the actors to appreciate the constraints, perspectives, needs and motivation of others in the chain and the impact of the actions of one on another. This reduced the traditional tendency to restrict the sharing of data resulting in enhanced collaboration and better understanding of the overall situation leading to more effective individual operations. Not unexpectedly, and in line with proposals to introduce other innovative and novel revisions to long standing but inherently uncoordinated processes, such as the implementation of Airport-CDM (ACDM), any quantitative analysis of the results of the validation project proved to be problematic. Here the first full qualitative analysis was done after the first airports had been implemented ACDM. In fact the implementation of ACDM recommends following phases where the validation is done after the implementation: Information Phase - Analysis Phase - Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) - Implementation Phase

Watson1, 2, Michalis Michaelides3, Herodotos Herodotou3, Sotos Voskarides3 1RISE Viktoria, Sweden, 2University of Georgia, USA, 3Cyprus University of Technology, Cyprus, 4Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden Short Sea Shipping (SSS) is commonly defined as commercial waterborne transportation that does not transit an ocean. The EU has a strategic interest in ensuring the continuous performance of SSS. It remains central to the comprehensive strategy for a clean, safe and efficient European transport system set out in the Commission’s 2001 White Paper, European transport policy for 2010: time to decide. Some of the main challenges identified include promoting reliability, quality and safety and removing unnecessary costs and delays at the ports. Cyprus, which is an EU member, being also an island in the Eastern Meditteranean Sea, has an important role to play in this, since more than 90% of its seaborne transport can be classified as SSS. Many ports in the world, including the port of Limassol in Cyprus, seek to become accredited transshipment hubs. This means that large shipments from other Mediter- ranean and Black Sea countries could be consolidated and sent to Cyprus, from where they could be efficiently distributed to various nearby ports, e.g. in Egypt, Israel and other countries in the Middle East, using smaller vessels and SSS operations. To be a successful transshipment hub, a port should be able to plan its operations precisely and ensure relevant information are Figure 1: Limassol EU Port in the Eastern Mediterranean available to visiting ships.

    Limassol, CYPRUS, candidate city for the 11th IOC 2020 Cyprus Republic of Cyprus is an island country in the Eastern Mediterranean, off the coasts of Syria and Turkey. Cyprus is the third largest and third most populous island in the Mediterranean Sea. It is located south of Turkey, west of Syria and Paphos Airport Lebanon, northwest of Israel and Palestine, north of Egypt and southeast of Greece. • Limassol (/ˈlɪməsɒl/; Greek: Λεμεσός [lemeˈsos]; Turkish: Limasol or Leymosun; Armenian: Լիմասոլ) is a city on the southern coast of Cyprus and capital of the eponymous district. Limassol is the second largest urban area in Cyprus, with an urban population of 160,000–176,700.[2][3] The municipality is the most populous in the country with 101,000 inhabitants (2011).[1] • The Port of Limassol is one of the busiest ports in the Mediterranean transit trade and the largest port in Cyprus. It has also become one of the most important tourism, trade, and service‐providing centres in the area. Limassol is renowned for its extensive cultural traditions, and is home to the Cyprus University of Technology. A wide spectrum of activities and a number of museums and archaeological sites are available to the interested visitor. Consequently, Limassol attracts a wide range of tourists mostly during an extended summer season to be accommodated in a wide range of hotels and apartments. A large marina lies near the old town, 500 metres (1,600 feet) from the Limassol medieval castle. • Cyprus has two international airports, in Paphos and Larnaka, connecting Cyprus to a large number of cities worldwide.
