The Turku-based tech company will furnish the currently under-construction, to-be-completed-in-2027 facility with a passenger and cargo traffic management system.

Apart from the software, the solution will include gates, measuring devices, and digital signage. Post-commissioning, Weasel Software will provide maintenance and support services.

"Automated and integrated processes make it possible to manage simultaneous departures from a single shared waiting area. This reduces manual workload and improves overall performance even at the busiest times, when vessel turnaround time is extremely tight," Weasel Software highlighted in a press brief.

The company's CEO, Juha Laurila, added, "This is a significant contract for us. We are pleased to deliver a solution for the Port of Turku that brings passenger and traffic management together as one integrated whole. We are providing a modern system and ensuring its smooth use through long-term maintenance and support services."

His counterpart at the Port of Turku, Erik Söderholm, also commented, "One of the key objectives of the Ferry Terminal Turku project is to create an even smoother and more efficient port experience for passengers and shipping companies. The passenger and traffic management system is a central element in achieving this, and we are very pleased to have an experienced and highly competent provider as the implementation partner."

In 2025, the Finnish seaport served 2.15 million passengers as well as saw 68.5 thousand ro-ro cargo units going over its quays.
