The project aims to accelerate the digital transformation of port calls and operations, making them as efficient, sustainable and safe as possible. The W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Voyage technologies chosen for the project;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/go.wartsila.com\/navi-port-abp\">Navi-Port<\/a>, Navi-Harbour Vessel Traffic Services, and Port Management Information System (PMIS) will help ABP employees meet their targets, complement the company\u2019s safety culture during port operations and optimise vessel planning and movements, which can have a positive impact on local, national and global supply chains.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sean Fernback, President, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Voyage commented: \u201cABP truly understands how impactful technology can be in the maritime industry and its innovative approach has cemented its position as the UK\u2019s leading ports group. This new agreement will help ABP maintain its competitive advantage now and into the future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Holistic and seamless technological solutions are critical to ensuring that ports, and the maritime industry more broadly, are ahead of the curve in terms of supply chain modernisation, that operations are future-proofed, and that data underpins decisions. The scope and scale of what we can achieve with ABP is very exciting, and we\u2019re pleased to be working together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After a thorough international procurement process where all major suppliers of port optimisation solutions were invited to tender, ABP chose to collaborate with W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Voyage, the cutting-edge technology developer accelerating the digital transformation of the maritime industry. W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Voyage\u2019s clear vision on how to enable ABP to become an early adopter of state-of-the-art port management solutions, while also ensuring a strong return on investment aligned with the goals and ambitions of ABP.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The project, which began in June, will span multiple phases across all of ABP\u2019s ports. W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s Vessel Traffic Services system and Port Management Information System are expected to be integrated into the Port of Southampton before April 2023, with other solutions subsequently being deployed across ABP\u2019s other 20 ports. The agreement with ABP includes an ongoing human factor review to ensure the existing control room environment is optimised for people\u2019s needs and is fully compliant with all national and international standards and guidelines.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The framework agreement, valid for at least the next five years, formalises a shared vision and commitment from both organisations to develop modern smart port applications through extensive and long-term collaboration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Harm Van Weezel, Chief Information Officer at ABP said: \u201cWe are delighted to be working with W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 on a programme that really delivers towards our vision of a modern, digital port. W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s approach \u2013 forming a deep and long-term partnership that is mutually beneficial to both organisations \u2013 really stood out to everyone at ABP. We are looking forward to the vast benefits this programme will bring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">H\u00e5kan Agnevall, President &amp; CEO, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Corporation added: \u201cThis is a landmark contract that will have a profound impact on the sustainability, resilience and efficiency of global supply chains. Digitalisation offers great potential for the maritime industry to reach its ambitious emissions reductions targets. That is why the expertise within W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Voyage plays such an important role in the pathway to zero emissions and continues to be integral to W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s strategy to generate genuine and long-term change for our sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Media contacts for more information on this release:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iana Avdeeva<br \/>\nCommunications Manager,<br \/>\nExternal Communications<br \/>\nW\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Voyage<br \/>\nMob +358 50 434 4104<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:iana.avdeeva@wartsila.com\">iana.avdeeva@wartsila.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Image caption: The Port of Southampton \u00a9 Associated British Ports<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 releases are available at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wartsila.com\/media\/news-releases\">https:\/\/www.wartsila.com\/media\/news-releases<\/a>\u00a0and at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/news.cision.com\/wartsila-corporation\">http:\/\/news.cision.com\/wartsila-corporation<\/a>, where the images can be downloaded as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Voyage<\/strong><br \/>\nW\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Voyage transforms how vessels perform their journeys and ports manage their operations by leveraging the latest digital technologies.
