The article provides an overview of the envisioned Marispace-X digital infrastructure, a decentralized maritime data ecosystem, followed by exemplary applications for hydrographic surveys and some of the use cases defined in the Marispace-X project. These exemplary applications are related to data management, sharing and processing services that can be performed on a cloud infrastructure. This digital infrastructure should simplify data handling of all the different data types and formats that exist in the maritime domain.
