Fintraffic´s Vessel Traffic Services in brief

Functional and efficient maritime logistics are key to the success of Finland’s foreign trade and maintaining competitiveness, as over 90 per cent of our exports and imports are transported by sea. Fintraffic's Vessel Traffic Services monitor the safety, smoothness and uninterruptedness of vessel traffic 24/7/365 – now and in the future. 

We are continuously developing core traffic management and control services. In addition to this, we are developing new service models for data and snapshot services, such as NEMO and the Port Activity App, where close cooperation between maritime actors and new digital solutions promotes the exchange of data and building a snapshot of maritime traffic and its logistics chains.

Sustainable maritime traffic

Finland has pledged to achieve the emissions reduction targets set by the EU and the maritime emissions reduction targets set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). One of the core duties of Fintraffic's Vessel Traffic Services is to prevent accidents and environmental damage caused by accidents. Thanks to their thorough knowledge of the Baltic Sea, Fintraffic's Vessel Traffic Services are able to support navigating the shallow and rocky sea as smoothly as possible, while ensuring that maritime traffic is also safe during the highly demanding winter season.

Fintraffic's Vessel Traffic Services actively collaborate with other maritime bodies on development and collaboration projects related the control of sea areas, the use and monitoring of marine data, and the development of marine cluster expertise. We are doing our part to preserve the Baltic Sea’s position one of the world’s most competitive regions, where traffic is smooth, safe and conscious of the fragile marine environment.

Fintraffic’s Vessel Traffic Services employ approximately 100 seafaring professionals.
