MISSION Project | Just in time

Making maritime
  shipping more
   sustainable by
   optimising port call
  efficiency to reduce
  emissions and to
  enhance safety

MISSION aims to minimise maritime shipping waiting time in ports to increase efficiency, enhance safety, and decrease port traffic, costs, and emissions.

MISSION is developing an interoperable digital real-time-based optimisation and decision-support tool to provide more coordinated planning and execution of port call operations in terms of time, fuel consumption, environmental impact, and safety spanning the overall maritime supply chain.

Stakeholders benefit from increased transparency and information sharing between shipping companies, terminals, ports, and service providers, which help optimize their resources and capacity planning including port’s hinterland modalities in compliance with the 2006 Maritime Labor Convention – also known as the Seafarer’s Bill of Rights.

Key facts

MISSION’s solution will enable vessels to reduce fuel consumption by 10–20% during port arrival and anchorage.

MISSION will allow shipping companies to quantify their fuel savings and the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions avoided through the optimisation system and real-time information shared with ports during vessel voyages.

MISSION will contribute to UNSDG 13 (Climate Action) and UNSDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure).

MISSION will enhance navigational safety by improving sea traffic management.

By reducing vessel waiting times in ports and port areas, accelerating operations, and cutting fuel consumption by 10–20%, MISSION will improve the health and quality of life of communities near ports.
