The Helsinki Commission, or HELCOM, works to protect the marine environment of the Baltic Sea from all sources of pollution through intergovernmental co-operation.
In the official text of the 2010 Ministerial meeting, one could read that
"We the Ministers of the Environment of the Baltic Coastal Countries and the High Level EU Representative agree to investigate the outcomes of the project “Efficient, Safe and Sustainable Traffic at Sea” (EfficienSea) within the frame of HELCOM Maritime, dealing with tools to improve safety of navigation, through the following four priority areas: recruitment and competences at sea and ashore; e-Navigation as a means to reduce information complexity; quality enhancement of vessel traffic data and maritime planning; and the improved maritime traffic control through dynamic risk management.”
EfficienSea will therefore keep HELCOM informed about the progress of the project.
