eLOGMAR-M
Web-based and Mobile Solutions for Collaborative Work Environment with Logistics and Maritime Applications
The major goal of the eLOGMAR-M project is to create a dynamic, collaborative work environment virtual pool), which incorporates different partners operating along the selected maritime freight route by the way of uniting their information management systems,databases, Internet Web-sites and portals and to provide services and new work methods for the mobile actors(traders, shippers, brokers, consignees, forwarders, railways etc.).
Although some of the companies operating along the selected freight route are competitors, the advantage that co-operation could bring real benefits for different target groups, should be realised: Major target group – forwarding companies, which represent owners of goods (manufacturers or buyers). They can calculate a start-tofinish transportation rate and “optimise” the logistics supply chain by using information systems and databases; Shipping lines (deep sea and feeder lines) – bringing additional cargoes flows, promotion of their services and increasing quality of services (the delivery of goods at the correct time); Terminal operators – planning of cargo transportation and decreasing of storage and processing time; Freight brokers – increasing the profit of their business by involving a wider range of user groups dealing with freight transportation.
Collaborative working and information openness can create a positive image of international transport routes
and the participating partners. The united information space produces a certain model allowing to control as
well as forecast the whole transportation process. The meaning of “dynamic collaboration” is considered in the
sense that other organisations can join in a virtual collaboration space at any time and that information
resources are regularly updated.
Objectives:
- Study and analysis in terms of logistics and maritime transport processes m-services, e-work legislation and regulations as basis to create a virtual networked pool;
- Training of specialists in maritime logistics and quality management systems;
- An Internet-based Interactive Web-site as a gateway for a potential network;
- A Demonstrator of an Internet based collaborative work environment with mobile access.
