Benefits of the project

According to experts, the adoption of the ENSI service will increase vessel traffic safety in the Gulf of Finland. An accident-prevention service is essential for the protection of the environment. In addition, the service enables oil tankers to optimise their schedules, and thereby shorten waiting times at ports, which creates savings.

The Tanker Safety project creates the preconditions for a novel approach to vessel traffic control. Checking and supervising route plans are, as such, very important new additional measures for ensuring maritime safety. In addition, the two-way exchange of information between the vessel and the on-shore official related to the Tanker Safety project opens up new opportunities for promoting tanker safety. When the basics for the exchange of information are in place, the ENSI service can be employed to develop an unlimited number of new services benefiting seamen and to expand the operating method to an international level.

The John Nurminen Foundation’s Tanker Safety project is an example of a concrete project that realises the interests of the public and private sectors, as well as those of the service users.
