Abstract This paper discusses the role of Geoinformatics in Shipping and Marine Transport as a new independent, autonomous self-contained, scientific discipline created for dealing with geospatial information. Depending on the scientific background of those involved in shaping the emerging discipline, little emphasis may be placed on various aspects of Geoinformatics. Maritime applications and small developments may address spatial planning, surveying, or computer science related matters. The scientific field of Geoinformatics spans the acquisition and storage of spatial data, the modelling and presentation of spatial information, geoscientific analyses and spatial planning, and the development of algorithms and geospatial database systems, including Geographical Information System (GIS). The current paper emphasizes international and national trends of the discipline and provides a set of geospatial initiatives in the field of marine navigation, safety at sea, maritime shipping, sea transportation and logistics, transport telematics and geomatics.
