Case Study: Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency achieves safer, more efficient winter navigation with IBNet by Solita

Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency boosts winter navigation with Solita, cutting fuel use and emissions

The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency, Väylävirasto, faced the challenge of ensuring safe and accessible sea routes for trade during harsh Nordic winters. To optimize its icebreaking operations, the agency partnered with vendor Solita to develop a digital solution.

Solita designed and developed the IBNet system, a shared platform for coordinating icebreaking between Finland and Sweden. The solution provided real-time situational awareness and streamlined operations. This resulted in significant savings in fuel consumption and emissions, enhanced safety for winter navigation, and enabled seamless international cooperation. Solita ensured the system was built with a focus on security, scalability, and reliability.
