BORA Systems is a ferry operations platform built in Tallinn, Estonia — 33 modules across 6 functional categories, each on its own microservice with a local API. Certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and GDPR-compliant. As of 2026, in daily service across three regions: the Baltic, the Channel Islands and the Persian Gulf.

01

What is the route?

Sark has no airport and no cars. The shipping route is the island's lifeline, and it carries residents, visitors and freight on the same crossings.

BORA runs the booking, the boarding validation and the cargo on one ledger, so a small operation serving a small island is not also running three separate systems. Sample copy, to be replaced with the real account.

02

What runs on BORA here?

Isle of Sark Shipping runs 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 Isle of Sark Shipping operate?

Channel Islands — Lifeline. BORA Systems is in daily service across the Baltic, the Channel Islands and the Persian Gulf. This page is sample copy pending the confirmed account.

Which BORA modules does Isle of Sark Shipping run?

Booking and Sales, Access control for boarding validation, and Reporting — all on one shared ledger. Sample copy; the confirmed module list will replace it.

Does boarding keep working when the connection drops?

Yes. Boarding is validated on handheld devices at the ramp and reconciles once the link returns — which is why BORA suits lifeline routes where connectivity is not guaranteed.
