Connecting Projects. Scaling Solutions. Strengthening Maritime Safety.

Safe and sustainable shipping is more important than ever in the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Blue Corridor Platform responds to this challenge by bringing together the results of multiple maritime safety and digitalization projects under one strategic framework. Through international cooperation, stakeholder dialogue, and expert workshops, the platform develops recommendations and raises awareness around existing practical tools and services to strengthen maritime safety, improve operational resilience, and support efficient navigation throughout the region. Co-funded by Interreg Baltic Sea Region, it connects maritime experts, projects, and stakeholders to accelerate the implementation of these solutions.

The Baltic Blue Corridor Platform tackles the urgent need for safer, more resilient, and sustainable maritime transport in the Baltic Sea—one of Europe’s busiest and most ecologically sensitive regions.

It addresses challenges such as geopolitical uncertainty, navigation system vulnerabilities, lower-standard vessels, and the complex shift to alternative fuels under the European Green Deal. Combined with harsh weather, seasonal ice, and pollution risks, these factors create a demanding environment for maritime operations.

Designed for national authorities, intergovernmental bodies, and policymakers, the platform offers tools and knowledge for safe, efficient navigation.

BalticBlue integrates results from leading EU-funded projects.

The initiative draws on the results of the following projects:

• MaDaMe
• ORMOBASS
• Baltic Sea e-Nav
• R-Mode Baltic
• BRISK II
• WATERWAYS
• DIGIMARIS
• MARISEC
• Sustainable Flow
• NEMO EMSW
• ISTLAB
• Efficient Flow

Key outputs include actionable recommendations, an operational framework for interoperable digital navigation tools, and strategic insights on maritime risks, developed through stakeholder dialogues, workshops, and cross-border cooperation.

Ultimately, the platform promotes a proactive, knowledge-driven approach to maritime safety and sustainability, fostering collaboration and digital innovation for greener, safer, and smarter transport in the Baltic Sea.
