Challenge

The B2MoS Action is an innovative study which takes the form of pilot actions principally aimed at preparing and adapting business communities and port authorities’ systems to the requirements of Directive 2010/65/EU, providing interoperable electronic documents and messages (ie. electronic sea waybill) intending to boost the efficiency of door-to-door MoS supply chains, facilitating intra-Community trade and increasing European territorial cohesion.

Approach

RINA has supported the Italian Ministry: 

• on elaborating interoperability studies of crucial trade and transport documents.
• on prototyping, piloting and finally demonstra-ting in seminars and events

Conclusion

The ultimate goal of Business To Motorways of the Sea (B2MoS) is to support MoS become a reality in Europe, by making maritime transport more efficient and safer and integrating it into multimodal and environmentally friendlier door-to-door solutions by improved information use, knowledge creation and facilitation of business collaborations. The above aims are, together with differentiation and reduced cost, common drivers for European value and competitive advantage.
