Meet SEABILITY
SEABILITY ltd is active in the fields of transport and logistics. Being a user of road transport operations SEABility is highly interested in new technologies and particularly in the effect that automation will have in operations. The challenges we handle are related to connectivity issues, data handling and security. SEABility acts also as an ICT and technology provider offering State of the Art solutions and consultancy services on all its core business domains (e.g. logistics, transport, etc.), as well as new business areas such as environmental applications, and safety and security applications.
Can you provide an overview of your role and involvement in the DELPHI project?
In the DELPHI project, SEABILITY leads the work on dissemination, communication, exploitation, and community building. This includes managing the project’s visibility and outreach, developing strategies to support the adoption of DELPHI innovations, fostering networking and community engagement, and contributing to standardisation efforts and policy recommendations. In addition to leading these activities, SEABILITY contributes to the analysis of governance models and stakeholder ecosystems, as well as to the exploration of multimodal transport trends in urban and peri-urban areas aimed at integrating passenger and freight mobility. SEABILITY also plays an active role in supporting overall project management and coordination.
How will the communication and dissemination efforts of DELPHI contribute to its sustainability and long-term impact?
Since the start of the DELPHI project, SEABILITY has placed strong emphasis on ensuring its long-term sustainability and impact. Central to these efforts is a comprehensive Communication and Dissemination Plan, which defines clear objectives, target audiences, key messages, and a structured timeline for outreach activities (First version of the plan is D6.2 and the updated version, D6.3, are available here). This strategic plan is designed not only to guide communication throughout the project’s lifecycle but also to ensure visibility and engagement beyond its completion. To build lasting awareness and support, SEABILITY has actively engaged a broad spectrum of stakeholders—including industry representatives, transport authorities, policymakers, academic institutions, and the general public—through a range of activities such as workshops, conferences, exhibitions, and regular project updates.
To maximise reach and influence, DELPHI leverages a variety of dissemination channels, including social media platforms, professional networks, scientific publications, industry events, and local media. These efforts help to ensure that project findings and innovations are accessible to diverse audiences, increasing the potential for uptake, replication, and long-term impact.
In line with open science principles, DELPHI publishes its outputs—including research findings, data sets, and technical deliverables—in open-access formats, making its knowledge base freely available to the research and policy community. A dedicated digital repository is being developed to archive all dissemination materials, serving as a permanent reference for those interested in integrated passenger and freight transport systems (DELPHI material hub is accessible here).
Moreover, the project actively participates in strategic collaborations with industrial, academic, and policy networks, standardisation bodies, and mobility associations. These partnerships help sustain interest in DELPHI’s outcomes and ensure continued dialogue and alignment with broader transport and innovation agendas. By contributing to policy and standardisation discussions, the project aims to influence the regulatory and operational landscape in support of integrated, multimodal transport solutions. Collectively, these strategies ensure that DELPHI’s communication and dissemination activities not only support immediate project objectives but also lay the foundation for lasting impact in the mobility sector.
How is the DELPHI project supporting the adoption of its innovations within the transport and mobility sectors?
The DELPHI project supports the adoption of its innovations by ensuring that technological solutions are co-developed and validated in close alignment with real-world needs across the transport and mobility sectors. A key strength of the project lies in its diverse consortium, which includes stakeholders from multiple domains—public transport operators, logistics companies, city authorities, technology providers, and academic institutions. This diversity enables DELPHI to capture a wide range of perspectives and operational requirements, ensuring that its integrated solutions—such as data-sharing frameworks, multimodal optimisation tools, and federated digital platforms—are practical, relevant, and scalable. By actively engaging end-users throughout the development and validation phases, and by demonstrating tangible benefits through pilot implementations, DELPHI creates a clear path for real-world application and scalability. Through this collaborative and stakeholder-driven approach, DELPHI not only accelerates innovation uptake but also lays the foundation for long-term systemic change in integrated passenger and freight mobility. These efforts are complemented by targeted dissemination and stakeholder engagement activities that raise awareness and build momentum for widespread adoption beyond the project’s duration.
How do you envision the evolution of integrated passenger and freight transport systems in the next 5 to 10 years?
Over the next 5 to 10 years, integrated passenger and freight transport systems are expected to evolve into more seamless, data-driven, and user-centric ecosystems. Urban areas will increasingly adopt shared infrastructure and services that allow both passenger and freight flows to coexist and complement one another—optimising the use of public space, reducing congestion, and lowering emissions. Digital platforms capable of aggregating and exchanging real-time multimodal data across operators and sectors will become central to this transformation, enabling dynamic routing, better coordination, and enhanced decision-making.
Advancements in AI, edge computing, and IoT will drive the predictive and adaptive capabilities of mobility systems, while governance frameworks will need to evolve to support data interoperability, privacy, and equitable access. Moreover, with increasing pressure to meet sustainability goals, cities will likely prioritise solutions that support low-emission zones, active mobility, and last-mile freight logistics that are embedded within passenger transport flows. Projects like DELPHI are paving the way by demonstrating how these integrations can work in practice, and future efforts will likely build on this foundation to create more resilient, flexible, and sustainable transport systems across Europe and beyond.
Is there anything else you would like to mention or highlight?
Yes, an important aspect that deserves emphasis is the way DELPHI fosters collaboration across a truly interdisciplinary and multi-sectoral ecosystem. By bringing together stakeholders from public transport, logistics, urban governance, technology development, academia, and industry networks, the project creates a dynamic environment where innovation is not only technical but also institutional and societal. This holistic approach is critical for addressing the complexity of integrated mobility and ensuring that solutions are both effective and adoptable across diverse real-world settings.
Moreover, DELPHI’s commitment to open science, stakeholder inclusion, and policy alignment makes it a blueprint for how European research projects can go beyond pilot success to deliver scalable, policy-ready, and impactful solutions. SEABILITY is proud to contribute to this vision—leading key efforts in communication, community building, and long-term adoption strategies—ensuring that DELPHI’s legacy continues to influence the future of smart, sustainable, and integrated transport systems.
In conclusion, DELPHI is more than a research project; it is a forward-thinking initiative that is actively shaping the future of mobility. Through strong collaboration, practical innovation, and strategic outreach, it sets the foundation for a more connected, efficient, and environmentally responsible transport ecosystem across Europe.
