Overview
Background & policy context:
Many problems arise in the transport sector from the fact that the lack of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is preventing intermodal transport, including short sea shipping, from being a competitive alternative to other modes of transport. In particular, enhancing interconnectivity and interoperability in and between ports is a necessary step to support European short sea shipping.
Objectives:
The main objective of BOPCom was to raise the efficiency of sea transport in Europe by developing a new telematics concept for the port and transport sector, including support for small and medium-sized companies (SMEs), offering low-cost communications solutions.
