The IBNet information and planning system, a joint initiative between Finland and Sweden, ensures that winter navigation in the Baltic Sea remains smooth and safe, even under challenging conditions. For a decade, Atostek has served as a technical advisor for the system\u2019s architecture, specification, and acceptance testing.<\/b><\/p>\n
Winter navigation in Finland and Sweden is vital to both countries\u2019 foreign trade, with icebreaking operations keeping maritime traffic running through the winter months. However, safe and efficient operations require a real-time and accurate situational picture that combines information from multiple authorities, icebreakers, and weather services.<\/p>\n
The IBNet system has been developed jointly by the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency and the Swedish Maritime Administration. Atostek joined the project in 2015 as a technical consultant, contributing to the system\u2019s architecture and specification. The information and planning system compiles data on weather and ice conditions, satellite imagery, official notices, portcall information, pilotage information, multiple vessel databases and icebreaker activities. It provides both countries\u2019 authorities and icebreaker crews with a shared, up-to-date view of winter navigation operations.<\/p>\n
Atostek has contributed to the development of the IBNet system since late 2015 as a technical partner and expert for the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency and the Swedish Maritime Administration. Atostek has provided technical oversight and assistance in areas such as system architecture, integration design, development task specification and acceptance testing, ensuring the long-term sustainability of technical solutions.<\/p>\n
\u2013 We\u2019ve helped to ensure that the system\u2019s architecture stands the test of time and facilitates cross-border collaboration, says\u00a0Antti Koskimaa<\/b>, system architect, Atostek.<\/p>\nOngoing development ensures reliable winter navigation in the future<\/h2>\n
The IBNet system continues to evolve to meet changing conditions, new regulations, and the needs of maritime operations. Atostek\u2019s experts are involved in the specification and acceptance testing of the system, focusing particularly on architecture and integration design as the project advances.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Atostek has been involved with the development of IBNet for a long time and has brought a good amount of technical input in the software development for the winter navigation authorities use, when designing new features or improving functionality of the IBNet. Antti\u2019s operation as our \u201cinternal consultant\u201d has been a very valuable part of the software development. On top of that, the acceptance testing has been conducted well and thoroughly, comment IBNet product owners\u00a0Isabella Gr\u00f6nfeldt<\/b>\u00a0(SMA) and\u00a0Tuomas Taivi\u00a0<\/b>(FTIA).<\/p>\n
Continuous development ensures that IBNet will continue to serve both Finnish and Swedish maritime operations in the years to come \u2013 building safer and more efficient winter navigation together.<\/p>\n
