Baleària launches a new innovation project on AuraQuantic

The shipping company Balèaria has automated some ship and crew management procedures on the AuraQuantic platform.

The digitalization of these procedures has helped to improve the shipping company’s work methodology in terms of developing its maritime operations and control of the ships’ documentation. In this sense, AuraQuantic has been used to eliminate manual tasks involving physical documents and to control the validity of the ships’ mandatory certificates based on current legislation.

AuraQuantic uses this innovation project as an example for all companies in the maritime sector, including companies dedicated to the transport of goods or passengers, fishing, shipbuilding, and ports and port services, to show how digitization provides an opportunity to achieve safer, connected, efficient and sustainable vessels. A development that involves the adoption of technologies with high strategic value such as Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), process automation, big data analysis, and cybersecurity.

Baleària is the leading shipping group in Spain, with over 25 years of experience in maritime transport for passengers, goods, and vehicles, with daily routes connecting the Peninsula with the Balearic Islands, Ceuta, Melilla, and the Canary Islands. It is also the only company that connects the four Balearic Islands. Internationally, it operates in North Africa (Morocco and Algeria), the south of France, and links the USA with the Bahamas. In 2022, it transported 4.77 million passengers, 1.2 million vehicles, and 7 million linear meters of cargo.
