The Visy Access GOS will allow for the expected increase in passenger and ro-ro traffic, improve customer service, and enhance security, therefore playing an important role in the expansion and modernization of the entire port community.
The Visy Access GOS enterprise solution will manage the entry-and-exit traffic flow of personal vehicles and ro-ro cargo, and ensure that each asset arrives at the correct terminal and ship in the correct loading order. The system plays a crucial part of the ports’ Intelligent Transportation Solution (“ITS”) initiative. The Visy system at the port will include modules for port-wide access control, communicating with the traffic guidance system, communicating with the local terminal operating system (“TOS”), managing pre-booking information from the ferry companies’ IT systems, automatic length and height measurement of car and truck traffic, high-resolution damage imaging, and driver and permit identification.
“We are proud to be chosen as the gate supplier for the Ports of Stockholm’s expansion and modernization project,” said Petri Granroth, Visy’s General Manager. “Ports of Stockholm’s quest to become a market leader is in line with our ambitions to provide the best IT solutions to the marine terminal community. Visy’s multi-site/multi-tenant GOS will provide the Ports of Stockholm with the right tools to meet their operational goals.”
The Visy system delivery will take place in phases consistent with the Ports of Stockholm’s renovation and construction schedule. The new facilities will be fully operational in late 2016.
