Imagine trying to build something at sea but having to follow ten different rulebooks from ten different offices. This project creates a digital map and a checklist to find where those rules clash and how to fix them. It helps companies and governments get on the same page so that wind farms and green ships can be deployed without getting stuck in red tape.
Companies operating at sea face a fragmented mess of laws that vary by region and sector. This creates delays, increases costs, and makes it hard to implement green technologies like floating wind or electric shipping.
A diagnostic tool to find institutional barriers and a set of digital e-governance strategies for marine spatial planning.
If you are an offshore wind developer dealing with conflicting permits for energy islands — this project developed a diagnostic tool that identifies institutional barriers to speed up project approval.
If you are a fleet operator dealing with the transition to zero-emission vessels — this project developed e-governance strategies that improve how data-informed decisions are made for decarbonizing shipping.
If you are a waste management company dealing with complex regional laws on marine litter — this project developed a performance assessment tool to help you align your operations with EU Green Deal goals.
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost information is provided as this is an EU-funded research project.
The project is currently piloting its approach across 9 specific cases in the North, Celtic, Baltic, and Mediterranean Seas to test scalability.
Based on available project data, there are no specific details regarding patents or licensing agreements.
It focuses on the EU Green Deal, specifically policies regarding marine energy, maritime transport, marine life, and marine plastics.
The project runs from 2023-01-01 to 2026-12-31, meaning the final strategies and tools will be fully developed by the end of 2026.
The consortium is diverse, featuring 16 partners from 10 countries. It has a moderate industrial lean with 3 industry partners and 4 SMEs (19% industry ratio), balanced by 9 academic and research entities. This suggests the output is heavily research-backed but validated by actual market players.
