What is the route?
Blue Wave Corporation operates a 589-ft cargo Ro-Pax ferry in Panama — 200 passengers, 94 cabins and 1,925 lane-metres of freight vehicles — and ran its online and back-office sales, boarding and reporting on BORA.
The deployment ran in Spanish, produced the ferry manifest and SMS notifications, and integrated First Atlantic Commerce for card payments and Panama's e-invoice service.
What ran on BORA here?
Blue Wave ran on BORA Systems: booking and sales across the passenger website, the agency interface and onboard, boarding validated at the ramp by Access control, and revenue drawn straight from live operations by Reporting — every channel writing into one shared ledger.
Boarding is validated on handheld devices that stay fully functional offline and reconcile when the link returns, so a lifeline crossing is not blocked by a dropped connection. Access control is built to the ISPS Code — adopted by the IMO in 2002 and in force since 2004 — so the departure manifest meets the security obligations a passenger vessel carries.

Frequently asked questions
Where does Blue Wave operate?
Blue Wave Corporation operates a 589-ft cargo Ro-Pax ferry in Panama, with 200 passengers, 94 cabins and 1,925 lane-metres of freight vehicles. It ran its online and back-office sales, boarding and reporting on BORA Systems, in Spanish, with Panama's e-invoice service integrated.
Does boarding keep working when the connection drops?
Yes. BORA validates boarding on handheld devices at the ramp that stay fully functional offline and reconcile with the rest of the system once the link returns, so a dropped connection does not stop passengers boarding a ferry.
