Fjord Ferry Equipped with RFID Technology
With their new ferries Fjord Line is the first ferry operator using RFID technology for their cabin locks, setting a new world record, the company reported. They are also the first ferry operator to serve their passengers with contactless RFID boarding control. Carus have taken full project responsibility for providing the software, the handheld RFID scanners and the implementation of the solution that enables Fjord Line passengers to board and disembark using contactless RFID cards.
Interferry Wins Long Term Support
Recognition of Interferry’s growing role as a voice for the ferry industry has prompted classification society DNV and bookings/check-in systems specialist Carus to pledge long-term financial support for the trade association and its annual conference. Interferry offers two top-level Platinum sponsorships for the event – and each organisation has signed a five-year deal after stressing their belief that the association has a key role to play, not least in ensuring regulators take account of the impact of future legislation before it is passed.
Ven-Trafiken chooses Carus
Another island ferry operator has chosen Carus as supplier for their booking and ticketing systems. After a thorough evaluation, Ven-Trafiken concluded that Carus offered the best solution in terms of skills, experience, cost and quality. Ven-Trafiken is going through a major business upgrade which includes a new ferry, a new terminal in Landskrona and the renewal and modernization of their systems. Carus will deliver its CarRes reservation system for booking and ticketing which will include systems to enable ticket sales and control even on board the ferries.
