vessels , allowing them to optimize their speed based on the actual availability of the berth .
NUMBER OF BENEFITS
Olli Soininen explains that the benefits brought about by both operating models largely depend on the type of sea freight transport , being the greatest for tramping .
“ Faster turnaround times , shorter waiting times and lower fuel costs and CO 2 emissions result in computationally significant savings for terminal operators , ports , cargo and vessel owners ,” Soininen says .
The Maritime DataSpace project is funded by Sitra , and it is a part of the development of NEMO , the national Port Call Time Stamp and Estimation Service . Fintraffic ’ s partners in the project include Siili Solutions and Awake . ai , who are responsible for technological development . The project pilot will be carried out at the Port of Oxelösund , Sweden . n
FINTRAFFIC ’ S VESSEL TRAFFIC SERVICES
– maintains and develops one of the world ’ s most extensive maritime traffic control and management systems
– promotes the new service models needed for automated maritime traffic , including information and situational awareness services as well as remote vessel control and support for remote pilotage
– seeks to utilize digitalization extensively , ensuring the competitiveness of Finnish shipping and the emergence of intelligent maritime traffic
– actively promotes the development of transport ecosystems both nationally and internationally
– Fintraffic ’ s Time Stamp and Estimation Service and Port Activity app were used as model examples for reducing marine climate emissions at UN ’ s COP27 Climate Change Conference in Egypt
