Among 72 proposals MEDIATE project awarded to be funded by EU

EU announced the evaluation results of the proposals submitted to HORIZON-CL3-2023-CS-01-01 call entitled “Increased Cybersecurity (2023/24) – Secure Computing Continuum (IoT, Edge, Cloud, Dataspaces)”. We are pleased to inform that our proposal MEDIATE is the one of four among 72 candidates which is awarded to be funded with a total fund of 4.7 M€. Project is scheduled  to start on July under coordination of TUC (Technical University of Crete. Oure object and area of investigation is the longest part of a product’s journey and starts with the selection of the carrier, the cargo management (bulk or containerized) during the transportation process, the real-time tracking of the vessel, and the interaction with the port authorities. The examined sub-process of the sea freight forwarding incorporates advanced technologies (Industry 4.0) of the maritime industry along with the interconnected digital infrastructures of the various stakeholders. The goal of this study is to ensure the seamless and secure flow of goods and finally eliminate the risk of external interference and disruption of key operating systems and their interdependencies both at the vessel and port level.

The infrastructure consists of:: Integrated Ship Management Software, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs); Water Ingress Detection System (WIDS); Echo-sounder; Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS); Automatic Identification System (AIS); Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS); Electronic Chart Systems (ECDIS); Ship Information System (SIS)
