MARCONNECT focuses on strengthening Europe’s maritime awareness using existing civilian assets, smarter data sharing, and trusted digital services.
🔍 Situational Awareness
Expand maritime visibility by enabling civilian vessels to securely and voluntarily share outward-looking sensor data already available on board. This increases coverage without deploying new infrastructure.
🤝 Cross-Border Cooperation
Support better coordination between Coast Guard and civilian authorities through real-time, trusted information exchange across European maritime borders.
🧩 Interoperability & Scalability
Develop a modular and scalable platform that integrates smoothly with existing maritime information and command systems.
🔐 Privacy & Trust by Design
Ensure data protection, cybersecurity, and legal compliance are embedded from the start, with voluntary participation and anonymised data handling.
Over 36 months, these objectives will be validated through real operational use cases across different European sea basins.
