2. Introduction • The eLOGMAR-M CA is the instrument to co-ordinate organisations, programmes and projects in the area ofinnovative Web-based and mobile solutionswith logistics and maritime applications. • The project is initiated by the major partner group under the co-ordination of the Fraunhofer IFF with the aim: • to create an international network of scientists and experts, • to improve transport logistics and harbour processes, • by using IT-solutions • Previous Projects of the major partner group: • AMCAI (COPERNICUS 1994), • DAMAC-HP (COPERNICUS 1998), • BALTPORTS-IT (IST FP5, 2001)

4. Consortium • The 17 partner organisations complement each other at different levels: • Industrial Enterprises, Universities and Research Institutes, Transport Logistics, It-Solutions Companies: • Fraunhofer IFF(Germany); Warszaw University of Technology (Poland), Riga Technical University (Latvia); • KSSA(Lithuania), PKA(Finland), RTSB(Germany), HHM(Germany), ThPA(Greece),IB(Estonia) • IDC Information Technologies, Latvian Intelligent Systems (LV); Sonex (LT); HOPE (China) • M&SS (UK), TRD (GR), CHD (CN), LTR (EE) • Different geographical regions along the selected freight route: • China • Mediterrania (Greece) • Western Europe (Germany, U.K) • Baltic Sea (Finland, Poland, Lithuania,Latvia, Estonia)

5. Major Goal • Create a dynamic, collaborative partner pool uniting organisations from one Asian and eight different European countries. • Incorporate the different partners operating along the selected maritime freight route by the way of uniting their information management systems, databases, Internet Web-sites and portals • Provide services and new work methods for the mobile actors (traders, shippers, brokers, consignees, forwarders, railways, etc.) Deep sea ports Feeder ports Railway container terminals Estonia Hamburg Germany Tallinn Customers Shanghai China Riga, Ventspils Latvia Klaipeda Lithuania Gdansk Poland Kokkola Finland Thessaloniki Greece Trains Deep sea shipping lines Feeder shipping lines Multilevel logistics and transport business process.

7. Objectives •  Creating a Web-portal for information providing to transport services’ consumers;Demonstration of mobile access to Web-portal for different categories of transport • services’ consumers; • Organisation of conferences and regional workshops for dissemination of research • knowledge; • Further development of the Baltic Regional Competence Centre in the field of • advanced IT-solutions and maritime eLogistics in Riga and its branch office in • Tallinn; • Development of recommendations for application of Collaborative Work • Environment with mobile access to it in the form of the project handbook.

8. Identification Integration Demonstration Internet-based interactive Web-site as supporting tool eLOGMAR-M outcome Study and analysis of logistics and maritime transport processes Study and analysis of m-services, e-work, information and simulation systems Study and analysis of legislation and regulations Creating the opportunities for the training of specialists Identification Generalisation of studies and analysis of results, assessment criteria and customers requirements by using an Interactive Web-site of a dynamic, collaborative, virtual society Integration Setting up of demonstrators of an Internet based Collaborative Work Environment Setting up of demonstrators of mobile access to Collaborative Work Environment Demonstration Work plan – general structure The CA consists of three stages

9. Logistics Solution • The Main Objective of eLOGMAR-M Project from logistics point of viewis to estimate a start-to-finish transportation rate of cargo and to select logistics supply chain by providing information for choosing basic carrier who meets the required criteria. • Two major target groups: • 1) Transportation group: •  Shipping lines (deep sea and feeder lines, ship-owners); • Container terminal operators; • Block train operators; • Forwarding companies; • Multimodal transportation operators. • Freight brokers • 2) Cargo group: • Cargo owners; • Forwarding companies as representatives of goods’ owners (manufacturers • or buyers); •  Traders.
