CO2 and logistics activity digital tool

Satakunta University of Applied Sciences Ltd. (hereinafter SAMK) hereby grants you the opportunity to submit a tender regarding CO2 and logistics activity application to be used in three Finnish (incl. Åland) ports (Rauma, Pori & Mariehamn), two Swedish ports (Oxelösund & Norrköping), one Estonian port (Tallinn) and one Latvian port (Riga). Purpose/aim of the Tender: This procurement refers to the acquisition of a CO2 and logistics activity ICT application. That is, an ICT tool for reducing and calculating CO2 emission in port. In this procurement, pilot ports (Rauma, Pori, Norrköping, Tallinn, Oxelösund, Mariehamn, Riga) will use the ICT Tool as part of this project. The procurement relates to the development of a CO2 and logistics activity ICT application to reduce and calculate CO2 emission in port and also making the logistic chain more efficient. The basic principle of the CO2 and logistics activity ICT application is to identify different emission sources, calculate emissions and improve the port's logistic chain (intermodal/multimodal). Based on the gathered data ICT tool will also include “Guidance Tool” to help ports to improve their energy efficiency and decrease their CO2 emissions. This emission collection should be based on multiple sources or their combinations: Straight from the source – API e.g electric company Calculated – purely based on formulas Manual – manual data input Combination – any combination mentioned above e.g number of vehicles coming in the port + estimated emission calculation for each vehicle By calculating the emission the port has a better view of their emissions and is able to develop their operations. It will also make reporting material more accurate, reliable and comparable. Guidance tool will help ports to make decisions to reduce port emissions when making investments. The software must be open source, available to everyone.
