The Estonian company, tasked with managing 18 cargo & passenger harbours throughout the country, has picked the Norwegian firm's cloud-based Port Management Information System (PMIS) to digitalise its operations.

The implementation, marking Grieg Connect's entry into the Baltics and which will start this year, will begin with core operational processes, including port calls, operational reporting, and cargo information handling. The solution also enables future expansion with additional capabilities.

"We wanted a solution that helps us standardise our port call management, improve data quality, and lower the administrative burden. Grieg Connect presented a system with a clear structure and a strong fit for how we operate. In the evaluation, the public API also stood out. It gives us a path to a future-proof setup where we can connect our systems and external actors in a controlled way," Ahti Paju, IT Manager at Saarte Liinid, commented.

Dan Steinnes, Grieg Connect's Chief Sales Officer, also shared, "Even though Saarte Liinid is in a new geographic area for us, the workflows are well-known from other ports we work with. That gives us confidence that we can deliver a swift implementation and add immediate value to their team across their locations. We look forward to a long-term cooperation where the system can evolve in line with their operational needs."
