Sea traffic management (STM) is a methodology developed by the Swedish Maritime Administration MonaLisa project and endorsed by the European Commission. STM stands for Ship-To-Manufacturing and is used by ECDIS manufacturers involved in the STM Validation Project. It is believed that STM is a pre-requisite for the introduction of autonomous ships, as it allows other ships in the vicinity to know their voyage plan and route details.

STM tools are newly developed services, meaning a limited amount of VTS operators have used and evaluated them. The STM ECDIS predicts intersection points between ships route and CPA. A short blue perpendicular line indicates where RS 1000 will be on her.
