Digitalisation continues to reshape maritime operations, and the need for reliable, standardised and trusted information exchange is growing fast. One of the goals of the NELSON project is to enable interoperable maritime services that support safer navigation, more efficient traffic management and future-ready operations. S-100 services and Maritime Connectivity Platform (MCP) are key enablers in this context.

NELSON is a €15 million EU co-funded project that brought together 10 partners from Finland, Sweden and Spain. The project has had a somewhat eventful beginning: since September 2025, 14 milestones have been completed, and numerous events and info sessions have been held to inform and involve project stakeholders.

The extensive renovation of the Vuosaari tunnel began three weeks ago, on 6 January. Take a look at the progress of the tunnel renovation and traffic flow on the detour and read about the new traffic arrangements on Ring Road III during construction.

The Vuosaari tunnel will be closed at the beginning of next year for extensive renovations, with traffic diverted to the official substitute route.  Multiple sections of the substitute route have been upgraded over the past year, and the currently tested substitute route is ready for diverted tunnel traffic next year. How did traffic flow during the test week, and what consideration are there for next year's traffic?  Learn more in the following article.

The objectives of Fintraffic’s Air Navigation Services for 2026 focus on legal compliance, digitalisation of aviation, and promoting staff well-being and competencies.

Fintraffic's Air Navigation Services aims to continuously improve the flow and predictability of its services with customers in mind. For this reason, the customer satisfaction survey, which was carried out in a similar way for years, has undergone a complete overhaul this year.

Fintraffic’s Air Navigation Services’ Flight Planning Centre (FPC) was established 15 years ago. Its purpose was to centralise support for air navigation services nationally at a single location. The Flan Planning Centre is a unique entity in Finland, and there is no equivalent anywhere in Europe. To celebrate the FPC’s anniversary, we are taking a look at how centralised flight planning services have been built over the years up to today.

Amendments to the Aviation Act will enter into force on 1 September 2025, also affecting the permission process for obstacles to air navigation.

The official alternative route for the Vuosaari road tunnel was tested between 16 and 18 June.
