MONALISA is a Motorways of the Sea project which aims at giving a concrete contribution to the efficient, safe and environmentally friendly maritime transport. This is done through development, demonstration and dissemination of innovative e-navigational services to the shipping industry, which can lay the groundwork for a future international deployment. Quality assurance of hydrographic data for the major navigational areas in Swedish and Finnish waters in the Baltic Sea contributes to improving safety and optimization of ship routes.

Aims and Objectives
MONALISA aims at giving a concrete contribution to the efficient, safe and environmentally friendly maritime transport. This is done through development, demonstration and dissemination of innovative e-navigational services to the shipping industry, which can lay the groundwork for a future international deployment.
Quality assurance of hydrographic data for the major navigational areas in Swedish and Finnish waters in the Baltic Sea contributes to improving safety and optimization of ship routes.
MONALISA addresses a number of priority areas, strategic actions and flagship projects of the EU strategy for Baltic Sea region and thus contributes to the implementation of the Strategy.
MONALISA is also in direct line with the EU concept "Green Transport Corridors", a concept which, inter alia, represents the environmental dimension in the development of the transport system.
