The Port of Stockholm is currently redeveloping the Värtahamnen area of the port in a project that involves turning over 85,000 square metres of space for urban development in return for the port expanding an operational area into the bay to give it five berths. The project is due to be completed in 2016, and Hogia will supply the terminal system for managing the ro ro freight services.

“Hogia’s terminal system must handle goods transports, all the way from arrival into the port to loading on-board the ship for onward transport. The terminal system has an open interface, which allows integration with other systems of importance to port operation, such as the gate system and the shipping companies’ booking systems. Information is sent between the systems in real time and the trailers that are located in the harbour can be tracked throughout their time there” Hogai stated.

“Information flows through the terminal system from many parties and systems with as little manual handling as possible, which makes administration easier and results in an efficient and safe handling of goods transports,” said Lars Tingström from Hogia.

The terminal system will support manual unloading and moving of goods in the ports area. Truck drivers receive work orders directly, with information on where the trailer is located and how it must be handled, plus any details on dangerous goods. “The port’s central control system can retrieve the position of the goods at any time. If a crisis situation should arise, an action plan can be established quickly, based on the current position of all goods” added Hogia.

“Our investment of SEK 2.8 billion will create a port that is adapted to today’s ferry traffic, effective planning and not least, a secure environment for both our employees and our customers,” said Jan Antonsson, project manager for Ports of Stockholm.

Hogia’s terminal system is one component in an overall ITS-system (Intelligent Transport Systems), for which Swarco is the main contractor.
