Dynamic Navigation ÖKS
Research Project, 2026
– 2029
The project will contribute to safer, more efficient and more sustainable shipping in the Öresund, Kattegat and Skagerrak — one of Europe’s busiest sea areas. The partnership includes several public authorities in Sweden, Denmark and Norway, as well as education and research institutes, ports, and system and service providers across the supply chain.
“Through the project, we are developing the digital maritime services of the future and strengthening Nordic cooperation. The aim is to give the shipping industry access to more consistent, up-to-date and reliable navigational information,” says Magnus Wallhagen, Project Owner.
The project will further develop services for navigational warnings, water levels, currents and high-resolution depth data, among other things. It will also test faster transmission of information to vessels and analyse how the new technology will affect the training of future deck officers.
