Sinay – ESA maritime digital platform

The French maritime tech company states that the new Digital Port Platform will show how the integration of space assets can be a “key enabler” for maritime sustainability and port system evolution. This will be achieved by transforming space and maritime data into key indicators, and thereby enabling data-driven management to solve major environmental and performance issues.

This new platform will contain a range of different industry-related modules, each of which address key bottlenecks and/or ongoing challenges for a wide range of industry stakeholders. This includes predicting the time of ship arrivals in order to reduce port congestion and vessel delays, real-time monitoring of maritime equipment, and port business intelligence to help the Smart Port ecosystem and collaborate on daily activities. Organisations expected to benefit are port authorities, terminal operators, shipping companies, Harbour Masters, and offshore/marine contractors.

Alessio Maglio, Project & Business Manager, Sinay, notes: “Gathering powerful information from the ESA will allow Sinay to help maritime corporates to build business efficiency with ocean sustainability.”

Rita Rinaldo, Head of Projects and Studies Implementation Division at ESA similarly states: “The Digital Port Platform will play a crucial role in helping to better understand, monitor and forecast the port ecosystem. The developments targeted in the project are ambitious but necessary given the scale of the issues to be addressed.”
