Stena Line Strengthens Security at Irish Sea Ports with Camera Telematics Solution
Stena Line has undertaken a comprehensive technology investment to enhance occupational health and safety in its Irish Sea operations, rolling out an advanced video telematics solution developed by Camera Telematics across five ports. The company has installed multi-camera systems for more than 100 terminal tractors, buses and luggage vans. The system accelerates incident investigation processes, enhances personnel safety and reduces operational risks.
Eamon Fortune, a senior port manager responsible for Stena Line's Irish Sea operations, underscores that employee and passenger safety remain priorities for the company and that this new technology has significantly improved safety standards. Stena Line and Camera Telematics teams have conducted comprehensive work with driver and stevedore crews operating at the port, maintaining transparent communication on the technology's purpose, data use and privacy considerations.
A pilot programme was conducted at Dublin Port before implementation of the solution. This pilot was designed to validate the technology's impact on port operations and establish a foundation for phased rollout. Following the successful pilot, the system was expanded to Stena Line's ports at Fishguard, Belfast, Birkenhead and Cairnryan.
At the core of the implementation is the iC360 connected MDVR (mobile digital video recorder). Five-camera configurations have been designed for terminal tractor and bus fleets, while three-camera configurations are used for luggage van fleets. The system is optimised to provide complete coverage of the driver's surroundings through combinations of forward, rear, driver-facing, nearside and blindside cameras. Bus models also feature an interior camera positioned for the passenger aisle. All vehicles are equipped with in-cab monitors, side cameras and reverse-view triggers to enhance driving safety.
The system does more than record; through live view, playback and remote download features, it offers real-time monitoring and incident resolution via Camera Telematics' online portal. This capability creates a significant advantage, particularly for port operations requiring rapid response.
The video-based system stands out for providing reliability and transparency in internal investigations. Stena Line teams use high-resolution footage to fully reconstruct the moment of an incident, corroborate witness statements and plan necessary actions much more rapidly. This process saves time and reduces unnecessary costs. Additionally, faster resolution of customer and passenger complaints has been achieved.
The insights gained are making Stena Line's safety compliance measurements more systematic. Stena Line has implemented procedural changes to reduce recurrence risk in certain incident categories, resulting in notable improvements in employee behaviour. Enhanced safety culture has been reported across a broad workforce, from terminal tractor drivers to stevedore teams to ferry crew members.
Stephen Petticrew, Stena Line's Port Operational Efficiency Lead, describes the solution as a "game-changer", noting that the technology not only reduces port risk but also enhances operational efficiency. The system's ability to rapidly understand and respond to incidents reduces operational downtime. Stena Line views the solution as creating further scope for innovation in efficiency, safety and compliance practices within its digital transformation programme.
Mark Stamper, Camera Telematics Director, notes that their expertise specific to port operations played a critical role in developing a customised solution for Stena Line. The adoption of a collaborative approach throughout implementation ensured all setup and training stages were completed on schedule without disruption to fleet operations.
Overall, the multi-camera-based video telematics solution is delivering a significant transformation for Stena Line at its Irish Sea ports in both safety and operational performance. Real-time visibility, robust recording infrastructure and rapid incident analysis strengthen the company's risk management capacity, while contributing to an operational model that places employee and passenger safety at its centre.
