The Port of Sines is an Atlantic seaport, locates in Portugal and one of the deepest ports in Europe. Port of Sines implemented his enterprise Geographic Information and Identification System (SIIG), fully supported on ArcGIS technology and supporting all the functional areas in the harbour.
The SIIG is manly WEB based and has seven modular and functional areas to engineering, environment, safety and security, planning port operations, concessions and domain areas, supporting decisions based on static and dynamic geographical information of all his hinterland and foreland.
GIS is the key tool for the interoperability of all the systems in the port and all the cartographic and tabular information that is used to manage the different types of operations made in the port every day.
