Sea Traffic Management (STM)

Sea Traffic Management (STM) is a digital system that improves communication and coordination among ships and maritime authorities. By sharing real-time data on vessel locations, movements, and intentions, STM helps enhance safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability in shipping. It allows ships to plan better routes, avoid congestion, and respond quickly to emergencies, much like air traffic control for airplanes. Overall, STM creates a safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly shipping environment through digital collaboration among maritime stakeholders.
