About Our Client

Without transport across the sea and inland waterways, the world as we know it, would not exist. Transport over water, in terms of cost and energy usage, is one of the most efficient way to move goods.

Despite the relatively low cost and energy efficiency, global transport is often still an incredibly complex process. Handling cargo in a port, on average, involves 28 parties, many of whom need to work together to get the job done. Automation of ports and terminals has made great advances, although there are large differences in the level of digital maturity. Likewise, advances in Vessel Traffic Services have made shipping much safer.

Each of our offices around the globe stems from a company with an illustrious past that were household names in the maritime world, and that have bundled their power together in Tidalis:

Most of our staff in Antwerp working on Terminal Operating Systems are former Phaeros and Cosmos employees. Phaeros was established in 1999 and joined our team in 2016.

Our Vancouver office in Canada specializing in port and pilotage management systems was established in 1985 under the name Klein Systems Group; some of our current clients go back to the very beginning of that office.

The former HITT office in Apeldoorn was established in 1994, but was delivering Vessel Traffic Services Systems since 1975, when it was still part of Holland Signaal, today a Thales company. The office branched out to Hong Kong in 2000 to better serve the Asian market.

Over the years, these offices have become a well-established unit, serving customers in all time zones.
