These systems include: SafeSeaNet, a Union maritime traffic monitoring and information system for EU-waters, managed by EMSA, to ensure the implementation of EU legislation; the Common Emergency and Information System (CECIS) facilitating communication during maritime incidents and disasters managed by the Commission’s Directorate-General for Humanitarian Aid (ECHO); the Vessel Monitoring System, managed by EFCA and Member States, supporting the Comm ...[+++]on Fisheries Policy; the Maritime Surveillance network (MARSUR) managed by EDA supporting the Common Foreign and Security Policy; the European Border Surveillance System (EUROSUR)[8] improving the situational awareness and reaction capability of Member States and of the EU Border Agency Frontex at the external borders; additionally the Common Information Sharing Environment (CISE) for the EU maritime domain currently being jointly developed by the EU and EU/EEA Member States will further enhance and create an interoperability framework between national and EU systems using in particular a common data model.

Support should therefore be focused on the core network and on projects of common interest in the field of traffic management systems, in particular the air traffic management systems resulting from the new-generation European air traffic management system (the SESAR system), which require Union budgetary resources of about EUR 3 000 million, as well as the Intelligent Transport System (ITS), Vessel Traffic Monitoring and Information Systems ( ...[+++]VTMIS), River Information Services (RIS) and the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS).

3. Projects of common interest for motorways of the sea in the trans-European transport network may also include activities that have wider benefits and are not linked to specific ports, such as services and actions to support the mobility of persons and goods, activities for improving environmental performance, such as the provision of shore-side electricity that would help ships to reduce their emissions, making available facilities for ice-breaking, activities ensuring year-round navigability, dredging operations, and alternative fuelling facilities, as well as the optimisation of processes, procedures and the human element, ICT platforms and in ...[+++]formation systems, including traffic management and electronic reporting systems.
