Weasel Software Oy to deliver the passenger and traffic management system for the Ferry Terminal Turku project
The new passenger terminal in the Port of Turku is taking a major digital leap as a modern passenger and traffic management system is being built for the area. Following a competitive tendering process, the Turku-based Weasel Software Oy has been selected to deliver and implement the system.
The passenger and traffic management solution includes both the management system itself and the related equipment, such as gates, measuring devices and digital signage. In addition to delivery and installation, Weasel Software Oy will also provide maintenance and support services after the system has been commissioned. The solution supports the management of passenger and vehicle traffic in the terminal environment and helps ensure smooth operations both during everyday situations and peak periods.
“This is a significant agreement for us. We are delighted to implement for the Port of Turku a solution that integrates passenger and traffic management into one unified system. We will deliver a modern system and ensure its smooth operation with long-term maintenance and support services,” says Juha Laurila, the Managing Director of Weasel Software Oy.
“One of the key objectives of the Ferry Terminal Turku project is to create a smoother and more efficient port experience for passengers and shipping companies. The passenger and traffic management system is a central component in achieving this, and we are very pleased to have an experienced and competent partner implementing it,” says Erik Söderholm, the Managing Director of the Port of Turku.
The goal of the new system is to make vehicle and passenger check-in and boarding smoother and faster than before. This is essential in the new terminal, where two ro-ro vessels can arrive and depart within less than an hour at the same time.
Automated and integrated processes enable simultaneous departures to be managed from a single shared waiting area. This reduces manual workload and improves overall efficiency, even during the busiest periods when vessel turnaround times are extremely tight.
The passenger and traffic management system supports the Port of Turku’s objective to develop modern, efficient and passenger friendly services, strengthening the fluidity of movement throughout the area in the years to come.
