Important Notice for POLO – Port Activity Users: Changes to Security, Name, and Login Procedures

Updated 12/12/2025

The use of the D/S POLO system is steadily increasing, as is the amount of data stored in it. We will be implementing several changes to ensure that the system remains secure in the future. The name Port Activity will also be replaced with D/S POLO.

POLO will be migrated to a new cloud environment, resulting in a few-hours service outage 

During the outage, all users will be logged out of the system, and each user must log in again afterwards with their existing credentials. No new registration is required; your current username and password will continue to work.

The planned migration time is February 17, 2026. The estimated service outage will be few hours. The service is not reachable during the maintenance break, but it will be available normally with old user credentials after the break. Admin and Second admin users need to sign in with the MFA process.

The outage and logout will not affect user permissions, usernames, or any data stored in the system.

More detailed information about the outage will be provided both by email and in the POLO system closer to the event.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Admins and Second Admins 

As part of improving security, we will introduce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in two phases. In the first phase, this applies only to Admin and Second Admin users, and later it will apply to all users.

After the change, logging in will require a valid email address where a verification code will be sent. This prevents login attempts using fabricated or someone else’s email address.

  • MFA becomes mandatory for Admin and Second Admin users as of 16 December. 
  • For all other users, MFA becomes mandatory as of 2 March 2026. 

Both changes will be announced via email and in the POLO service. 

The name “Port Activity” and the associated domains portactivity.fi and portactivity.se will be phased out

The name “Port Activity” will be replaced and changed to D/S POLO. This will have an impact on corresponding domain addresses as well.

Since February 17, 2026, the users in Finland and Germany will be automatically redirected to dspolo.com. In Sweden similar redirection from portactivity.se will be made later next year. Exact schedule will be informed later.

After the changes, the Port Activity name and the separate country-specific login pages will be discontinued, and the service will operate uniformly under the D/S POLO name at dspolo.com.

The data protection statement has been updated to reflect current usage 

The new data protection terms will be sent to all users by email.

The previous data protection statement was created at a time when the system contained significantly less data, and the data was used differently. The updated terms also reflect changed legal requirements.
