The Port of Turku will introduce a new passenger and traffic management system at its upcoming ferry terminal. The contract was awarded to the local company Weasel Software after a competitive tender.
Key elements of the project:
- The system will manage passenger flows, vehicle check-in, and boarding in the new terminal area.
- Delivery includes software, gates, measuring devices, and digital signage.
- Weasel Software will also provide maintenance and support after commissioning.
The new system aims to streamline departures and improve peak-period operations. This is particularly important as the terminal is designed to handle two passenger and freight ferries arriving and departing simultaneously within one hour.
Automated and integrated processes will allow simultaneous departures from a shared waiting area, reducing manual work and improving operational efficiency.
According to the port, the system is a key element of the Ferry Terminal Turku project, which aims to deliver a smoother experience for passengers and shipping companies.
Port of Turku in numbers:
- 2 million passengers annually
- 80,000 trucks per year
- 1,500 vessel calls annually
The Port of Turku is one of Southwest Finland’s key transport hubs for passenger and freight ferry traffic.
