Development of an International Maritime Situational picture 2 - project
The Finnish Border Guard has launched the Development of an International Maritime Situational picture 2 project, with the goal of enabling better maritime situational awareness. The objective is to have the CISE node and adaptor in operation for data and information exchange by the end of 2026.
CISE enables data sharing
The Finnish Border Guard aims to share and receive operational information and data through CISE related to maritime security in the Baltic Sea, such as vessel history, irregular vessel movements, maritime critical infrastructure or shadow fleet.
The focus is particularly on data and information exchange with EU member states at Baltic Sea Region, as it is expected to bring the most added value to the Finnish Border Guard’s ability to produce a maritime situational picture.
External funding for the development of Finland’s international maritime situational picture
With the European Union participating in the funding, the Development of an International Maritime Situational Picture 2 project is receiving funding from the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund. With the EMFF funding, the safety of the seas will be improved by supporting initiatives that increase the maritime area monitoring and ensure sustainable use of these areas.
With 1.4 million euros of EMFF funding, the Finnish Border Guard will plan and build the CISE data exchange environment, through which maritime situational data will be shared with and received from EU member states.
