Transnet at the forefront of terminal operations
Transnet Port Terminals are at the forefront of terminal operations after a successful Navis Upgrade.
WITH escalating pressures on global supply chain logistics, container terminals around the world need to operate at peak performance to stay competitive and maintain profitability.
The recently successful upgrade of Navis software at all Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) sites across the country has once again positioned them at the forefront of terminal operations.
This latest Navis version boasts a number of new features like enhanced rail functionality, improved performance and scalability, among others. The software is the only solution that allows planning and operational staff to view, manage and control multiple terminals from a central location at the click of a button. According to Deirdre Ackermann from TPT, this seamless transition to the industry’s most advanced operating system available was no small feat.
“We pulled out all the stops to ensure that this upgrade was incident-free, which included undertaking a number of interventions to mitigate the business risks for both Transnet Port Terminals and our customers,” stated Ackermann. Ackermann explained that TPT drew on experience gained from previous installations and upgrades of Navis which led them to taking on a new approach for this particular installation.
She said Transnet believes that with this new software it will be better equipped than ever before to handle increased capacity.
