Abstract
The maritime transport sector within the multimodal transport chain aims to increase overall efficiency by using advanced technological solutions for planning and management operations, including handling vast amounts of data like cargo, positions, trade flows, vessels, and terminals. All these requires an integrated approach to data management is required in the form of multi-sectoral data-sharing platforms with process interoperability. Hence, this paper describes international legislation requirements related to maritime data sharing provisioned by International Maritime Organization (IMO)and United Nations (UN), along withsome recent technical solutions used in the maritime sector as Maritime Single Window (MSW), Port Community System (PCS), and smart containers on blockchain platforms. Also, the paper provides an overview of the EU-H2020 project ePIcenter focused on multimodal transportation chains efficiency. Some features of high-level data integration, exchange, and decision support modules, such as Transporeon and Synchromodality optimization, are described as well.
