Las Palmas Port advances smart border controls at cruise terminal

The Port Authority of Las Palmas has installed the first of two automated border control containers at the Cruise Terminal, equipped with eight self-service registration kiosks. The project implements the EU's Entry/Exit System (EES) and European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) to automate procedures for non-EU nationals. The contract was awarded to Thales-TIS for EUR 1.2 million, with funding from the European Internal Security Fund.
