The Swedish ferry line has prolonged its contract with the also Swedish company, deciding to implement its Lynx software-as-a-service terminal operating system (TOS).

The two have begun working together in 2016, with the initial task to simplify and digitalise the damage checks and claims handling processes across Stena Line's European network.

The product range grew until Surikat was supplying Stena Line with a portfolio of tools to aid the running of operations across their 20+ terminals in Europe.

"We are very proud to extend our strategic partnership with Stena Line for five more years. Stena Line will now have access to the complete range of features offered in Lynx TOS, and Surikat will continue to benefit from Stena's vast experience and expertise as they contribute to our ongoing roadmap and standard product development," Andreas Karlsson, Surikat Director, said.

Carl-Johan Hellner, Stena Line's Chief Operating Officer, Ports and Digital Transformation, added, "The continuous digitalisation and automation of port operations is vital for both Stena Line and our customers' success in the future. We continue to invest in Surikat's system that enables us to improve the efficiency and streamline our processes in our ports and terminals, to improve the service to our customers."
