POLO Port Activity is already in use at more than 30 ports and is a daily tool for hundreds of people. In connection with the launch of Maritime Traffic Notification Service NEMO, the application will also include vessel notifications in accordance with the European Maritime Single Window (EMSW) regulation as a new feature next year. This will enable vessels to submit port call-related vessel notifications via POLO both to Finland and to the EU.

Finland is introducing special maritime transport security zones for the first time to ensure the safe passage of special transports by organizing other traffic in the area. The first safety zone for special transports was introduced in the Inkoo fairway. In the future, similar arrangements will be extended to merchant shipping lanes throughout Finland’s coastal area.

In Finland, the monitoring and oversight of commercial shipping is a crucial part of ensuring maritime safety and environmental protection. Fintraffic’s VTS centres monitor the movement of cargo and passenger ships along the Finnish coastline around the clock, every day of the year. In the first half of 2024, vessel traffic has for the most part proceeded safely both along the Finnish coast and in nearby international waters.

The DigiMar project, focused on enhancing navigational safety through innovative learning tools, is on track with its planned schedule. This July, the project celebrated a significant milestone with its first international meeting, where the project's progress was discussed.

Fintraffic's Port Activity application helps maritime logistics actors and ports to develop their operations in a more efficient direction through real-time vessel and port information.

In today’s data-driven world, enterprises are increasingly looking for ways to leverage and monetize their data. Data ecosystems, where data is shared and exchanged between different stakeholders, can provide a powerful way to create value from enterprise data.

For years traffic and transportation technology has been transforming the society. With the rapid pace of innovation comes new trends and exciting technologies that will take traffic and transportation into the future. Fintraffic's view about future traffic is seen in our Traffic 2030 Vision, in our goal to create the world’s safest and smoothest and lowest emissions traffic in Finland together with our partners. This blog post lists my personal view on TOP 10+1 technology trends that will shape the year 2024 of traffic and transportation.

Sitra’s first Most Interesting Data Economy Solutions in Finland list highlights the 24 most interesting data solutions from various industries and regions in Finland. The Port Activity application developed by Fintraffic and Satakunta University of Applied Sciences, as well as the rulebook work by Traffic Data Ecosystem, were both identified as successful examples of promoting data economy.

The new Fintraffic Mobile application brings real-time traffic data from Finnish roads and rail traffic to road users and rail passengers. The application utilises real-time data obtained directly from Fintraffic’s traffic centres. Location-based push notifications inform the user immediately when something abnormal happens nearby on the roads or on a preferred rail route.

The Digilog seminar was held for the second time this autumn, bringing together a wide range of professionals working in logistics. The presentations began with the Key Note speech from Fintraffic CEO Pia Julin.
