Development the IP applications as a part of the Port@Net system

IP-jarjestelman kehittaminen osaksi Port@Net-kokonaisuutta

Intermodal Portal (IP) project has been a part of the research and development program of the EU Commission's Directorate General of Transport and Energy under the 5th Framework Programme. Besides the EU Commision, also the Ministry of Transport and Communications has financed the project regarding the development of the Finnish IP applications. The main goal of the IP project has been to improve the integration of the ports into the intermodal transport chains by developing different internet-based telematic applications. This was realised during the project by building up three different testbeds; the Waterborne Single Desk to cover the transfer of various administrative information flows relating to maritime transports, the Waterborne Intermodal Node, where the focus was on the integration of port information systems with the rail and road carriers' IT systems and to the Hazmat Dangerous Goods testbed that covered the development of a portal solution for the exchange of dangerous goods notifications between the port of loading and discharge. In Finland the IP portal was developed to be interconnected with the national maritime information system Port@Net, enabling the Port@Net system to transfer electronically different information with the other IT systems of the Baltic Sea ports. The ultimate goal has been to make the information flow in a harmonised way, smoothly, efficiently and transparently through the transport chain without the unnecessary re-typing of data. In this way Port@Net system with the IP functionality offers a platform for the future development of value added solutions to support the logistic chain. The IP applications developed in Finland focused on two different areas; the exchange of dangerous goods data between the Finnish and foreign ports and the development of applications to support the intermodal transport. Within this latter area the transport order module that covers the exchange of transport orders and freight waybills electronically between the client and the road haulier was realised. Additionally this area included the development of the national vessel time schedule application, which is publically available to all those interest groups, that need information of incoming and outgoing vessels and their time schedules.
