Port Operations Improvement at the Port of Paldiski
The challenge
The problem to solve
International truck drivers at Port of Paldiski — Estonia's second port, handling cargo bound for Russia via the Koidula terminal — frequently could not identify which ferry berth to approach. The display location required by the port was directly at the shoreline: maximum exposure to sea spray, salt air and wind. Standard outdoor enclosures were insufficient for the environment.
The solution
What Ampron delivered
Ampron manufactured customer-specific LED message boards with enhanced marine-grade weatherproofing. All metal components were stainless steel to prevent corrosion in the salt-air environment. The enclosure specification went beyond standard IP65 to address direct sea spray exposure. Displays show departure information and ferry boarding directions in multiple languages for the international driver population. Delivered 2015.
Outcomes
