Fintraffic signs with Unikie for enhanced digital services
Fintraffic’s Vessel Traffic Services is expanding its digital port services with POLO Port Activity through a business deal with Unikie.
The Port Activity service is built on an open ecosystem basis, which ensures that ports can develop the service according to their own needs. It offers real-time arrival and departure times for ships, emission calculations, berth planning, information on detachment and mooring and invoicing services, as well as water and waste management orders, tug and pilotage services – all in the same application.
Unikie states that POLO was created to help advance the digitalisation of ports and their services and it is clear that it will play a key role with Fintraffic.
Rami Metsäpelto, CEO, Fintraffic’s Vessel Traffic Services, notes: “Fintraffic’s Port Activity application is already in use in more than 20 ports in Finland and Sweden and in about a couple of hundred different organisations. The application helps maritime logistics actors and ports to develop their operations in a more efficient direction through real-time vessel and port information. Fintraffic will continue to develop Port Activity in a customer-oriented and open manner, where port-specific service development will continue to play a key role.”
