DSP, through its subsidiary DSP America, has signed an agreement with Port Houston to support the processing and maintenance of its Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) messages and database systems.
Port Houston, the busiest container port on the US Gulf Coast, uses the Navis N4 Terminal Operating System (TOS) to manage container operations.
EDI messaging is integral to this system, facilitating coordination with US Customs, shipping lines, railroads, and other stakeholders.
Under the agreement signed on 20 February, DSP will manage Port Houston’s EDI messaging infrastructure and provide ongoing database support.
The services aim to maintain reliable communication with global partners and ensure continuous freight operations.
