The Space4Maritime.gr study identified, analysed and prioritised via desk research, interviews and an online survey 118 unique needs of the maritime sector in Greece which could benefit from space infrastructure. It then translated these needs into a list of user requirements.

The research conducted drew conclusions regarding: the Greek maritime sector activities and the assessment of their main characteristics in relation to those at the European/global level; the applicable regulatory frameworks; the existing services, assets and capacities to address the user requirements; the development needs of the emerging maritime services comprising autonomous shipping, maritime cyber-security, maritime green energy and propulsion and e-navigation.

The study also analysed the Greek capabilities to develop the ground and space assets to satisfy these needs. Finally the study assessed the potential of Greece to provide and/or develop new systems for the maritime sector to more thoroughly address the identified user requirements, taking into account industrial capabilities and budgetary constraints.
