Local app that tracks ferry times raises seed funding

Tidewise, a Harbour City start-up whose app shows live ferry positions and delays, has raised 2.5 million from investors to expand to other coastal cities.

The app was built by three former ferry engineers and now has more than 80,000 users.

Smaller suppliers in the region are expected to benefit, as many contracts will be awarded to local firms.

The company will present further details to investors at its annual meeting in the spring.
