Hogia wins Stockholm TOS contract

The entire port area will be partially relocated to make space for new city districts, the new port will be made more efficient and safe.

“Our investment of SEK 2.8 billion will create a port that is adapted to today’s ferry traffic, effective planning and not least, a secure environment for both our employees and our customers,” said Jan Antonsson, project manager for Ports of Stockholm.

One of Stockholm’s largest port areas, Värtahamnen, handles four million passengers and 1.7m tonnes of goods each year.

The terminal system has an open interface, which allows integration with other systems of importance to port operation, such as the gate system and the shipping companies’ booking systems.

Information is sent between the systems in real time and the trailers that are located in the harbour can be tracked throughout their time there.

Lars Tingstrom, at Hogia, said: “Information flows through the terminal system from many parties and systems with as little manual handling as possible, which makes administration easier and results in an efficient and safe handling of goods transports.”

Hogia’s terminal system is one component in an overall ITS-system (Intelligent Transport Systems) for which Swarco is main supplier.

The new port in Värtan will be completed next year.
