Traffic’s Vessel Traffic Services prevented eight merchant shipping vessels from potentially running aground last year – rate of GNSS disruptions continued to be high
In 2025, Fintraffic’s VTS Centres prevented eight merchant shipping vessels from potentially running aground and stopped near-misses from turning into accidents. The year was marked by GNSS disruptions on satellite positioning systems, which caused trouble for vessels traversing the Gulf of Finland.
Predictive traffic management reduces emissions on roads and in the air
Emissions from traffic can also be reduced by keeping vehicles moving. Fintraffic reduces emissions by improving road traffic flow through predictive disruption alerts and speed management, and by coordinating flight routes and landings to minimise unnecessary waiting and acceleration.
Renovation work on the Vuosaari Tunnel progressing well and on schedule

Remote Pilotage As an Enabler for Future Maritime Operations
Remote pilotage is one of the core focus areas of the NELSON project. By exploring how pilotage services can be supported or partially delivered remotely using advanced digital tools, situational awareness systems, and secure communication links, NELSON aims to improve flexibility in maritime operations and to support adoption of remote pilotage.
Stakeholder Engagement Beyond Technology
The NELSON project is not driven by technological development alone. While the project work is coordinated and delivered by 10 consortium partners, the achievement of its objectives relies on close collaboration with a broad range of external stakeholders. Their involvement ensures that the project outcomes are realistic, relevant, and aligned with real-world maritime operations.
Sustainable Flow Project Presents Tools for Greener Port Operations

On the E18 motorway between Turku and Vaalimaa, the speed limit is 120 km/h in good driving conditions - the transition period has begun
Although the speed limits for winter and dark season are still in force in all parts of Finland, the spring-like driving conditions allow some motorways to use speed limits of 120 km/h for a transition period. The transition period for speed limits has started on Wednesday 4 March, and it applies to the E18 motorway between Turku and Vaalimaa.
