Introduction

The eLOGMAR-M CA is the instrument to co-ordinate organisations, programmes and projects in the area of innovative Web-based and mobile solutions with logistics and maritime applications.

The project is initiated by the major partner group under the co-ordination of the Fraunhofer IFF with the aim:

• to create an international network of scientists and experts,

• to improve transport logistics and harbour processes,

• by using IT-solutions

Previous Projects of the major partner group:• AMCAI (COPERNICUS 1994),• DAMAC-HP (COPERNICUS 1998),• BALTPORTS-IT (IST FP5, 2001)

Logistics Solution

The Main Objective of eLOGMAR-M Project from logistics point of view is to estimate a start-to-finish transportation rate of cargo and to select logistics supply chain by providing information for choosing basic carrier who meets the required criteria.

Two major target groups:

1) Transportation group:· Shipping lines (deep sea and feeder lines, ship-owners);

Container terminal operators;Block train operators;Forwarding companies;Multimodal transportation operators.

Freight brokers

2) Cargo group:Cargo owners; Forwarding companies as representatives of goods’ owners (manufacturers or buyers); Traders.
