The Harbour Authority of Livorno anticipates "Ferry-Livorno"
It is a software in order to help tourists and motorists to trace without hard work own ferry and the mooring of berthing
February 23, 2012
The department Managerial Controls of the Harbour Authority of Livorno and Telecom has set up a software in order to help tourists and motorists to trace without hard work own ferry and the mooring of berthing in the Leighorn port. With a tablet, an iphone or a cell phone, and some click on the touch screen, is in fact possible to suddenly transform the port in "a tamed" space.
The application "Ferry-Livorno", introduced today in the center of the harbour agency to Rosciano Palace, connects the system Ais (Automatic Information System), installed on the ships for safety reasons, with a Vhf device placed inside of the customs town-walls. The exchange of information between the two apparatuses affords to the tourist to know in real time many useful news, comprised those on the practicability towards the moorings and scheduling of the ferries for the Corsica and the Sardinia.
"Draft - the president of the Harbour Authority has commented, Giuliano Gallanti - of an important innovation, the first for an Italian port. A prototype with which we count to make of Livorno a port user-friendly, to the vanguard in the use of the modern currently existing technologies".
Activated at the beginning of December, the service has already collected a remarkable success: "more than thousand downloads in hardly three months of life - the leader has explained managerial controls of the harbour agency, Matteo Paroli - they are an important data, that it relieves us in the belief that the just answer to the questions for how many they more ask "a opened" port is a reasonable one and balanced I use of the technological instruments to our disposition".
For the time being "Ferry-Livorno" is operating for three destinations: Livorno-Olbia; Livorno-gulf Oranges and Livorno-Fortification". Soon the service will be implemented and dedicated also to the fleeting ships and to that from cruise.
