Saaremaa
Island ferry routes to Saaremaa with vehicle decks planned to capacity — passengers, cars and freight to Estonia's largest island.
All cases
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.
What is the route?
Saaremaa is served by ferry routes carrying passengers, vehicles and freight to Estonia's largest island, where seasonal demand means vehicle decks have to be planned to capacity.
BORA plans the decks and validates the boarding so a peak sailing loads without a marshal improvising at the barrier. Sample copy, to be replaced with the confirmed account.
What runs on BORA here?
Saaremaa 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.
