In June, the ports of Pite\u00e5 and Lule\u00e5 will launch Port<\/em> \u2013 the platform that digitizes ship calls. The launch marks a move towards more efficient traffic flows and reduced environmental impact in these growing ports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each ship call currently involves a wide range of stakeholders exchanging large amounts of information from arrival to departure. The port management system gives customers, ship agents, and other partners access to the same real-time information about ship calls and service requests. Improved traffic flow planning to and from the ports reduces bottlenecks and leads to a more environmentally friendly logistics chain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re working towards just-in-time operations, where vessels plan their arrival and adjust their speed to minimize waiting times and fuel consumption. This is an important step towards a greener approach in maritime shipping while also improving service and safety,\u201d says Karin Lindholm, Enterprise Architect at the Port of Lule\u00e5.<\/p>\n

Currently, traffic information and service orders are updated in different places. With the port management system, users gain access to all relevant ship call information, including scheduled times and pilot and tugboat orders. The platform also allows for digital ordering of port services such as mooring and freshwater supply, with automatic confirmations and forwarding to the correct service providers. Mikael Lindgren, IT Strategist at the Port of Pite\u00e5, who is working on implementing the system, says this strengthens the ports’ digital development.<\/p>\n

\u201cPort<\/em> makes it easier to plan, collaborate, and act \u2013 regardless of where you are in the transport chain. It improves our internal administration, follow-up processes, and the customer experience,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Both the Port of Lule\u00e5 and the Port of Pite\u00e5 are expected to grow in the coming years and handle increasing vessel traffic. The level of digitalization in maritime shipping is still relatively low, which makes this a significant milestone for the digital transformation of Swedish ports.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe introduction of the port management system is the starting point for moving into the future. It\u2019s a concrete example of how we can improve our operations together while also making things easier for everyone working with us,\u201d say Mikael Lindgren and Karin Lindholm.<\/p>\n

Facts About the Digital Ship Call Initiative<\/strong><\/p>\n

The implementation of the Port<\/em> digital port management system means manual routines are being replaced with digital ones. Regardless of whether you\u2019re calling at the Port of Lule\u00e5 or the Port of Pite\u00e5, you\u2019ll have access to the same interface and functionality. The initiative at the Ports of Pite\u00e5 and Lule\u00e5 is part of the Vinnova program System Demonstrator Smart Ship Calls<\/em>, where actors in the maritime sector are working to create more efficient port calls through digitalization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
