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.
