2021 was an impressive year for the STEAM Project, with many research studies and work carried out relative to the development and completion of the project that is soon approaching (June 2022). We are pleased to announce the publication of the third annual newsletter which you can read here https://steam.cut.ac.cy/steam-newsletter-march-2022/.
Since January 2019, when the project started and the first Living Lab took place in the Port of Limassol, six (6) more Living Labs followed, three (3) of them virtual due to the global pandemic restrictions. The STEAM Database is now fully functional, storing port call, AIS and environmental monitoring data, while many systems have matured and are currently under evaluation by the Limassol Port operators. The PortCDM platform (Perseus) is being evaluated for optimizing the port calls and the port-to-port collaboration process. Continuous efforts are also being made to evaluate the services of the Limassol Shore Center by the VTS, providing ways to enhance safety and optimize navigation in maritime traffic in the Eastern Mediterranean. The Environmental Monitoring Platform is being evaluated for its ability to access, extract and analyse air quality, water quality and meteorological data. Finally, the Power BI reports consisting of a series of dashboards, are being evaluated for the analysis of KPIs in various ways.
STEAM (Sea Traffic Management in the Eastern Mediterranean) is a three-year project that has started in Jan. 2019 with a budget of approximately one million EUR. The project is coordinated by the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) with the Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE) participating in the project as a Foreign Research Organization. Furthermore, the STEAM consortium consists of the Cyprus Ports Authority, the Cyprus Shipping Association and the private companies Tototheo Maritime, A.T. DeLevant Business Solutions, and Cyprus Subsea Consulting and Services. Also, very important is the participation in the project as associated partners of established stakeholders of the Cyprus maritime sector including the Cyprus Shipping Chamber, the Maritime Institute of Eastern Mediterranean (Mar.In.E.M.), and the private companies that currently handle the operations at the Port of Limassol: DP WORLD Limassol, EUROGATE Limassol Container Terminal και P&O Maritime.
The primary goal of STEAM is to develop the Port of Limassol to become a world-class transshipment and information hub adopting modern digital technologies brought to the maritime sector, as well as a driver for short sea shipping in the Eastern Mediterranean.

This work was co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund and the Republic of Cyprus through the Research Promotion Foundation (STEAM Project: INTEGRATED/0916/0063).
