Kerry Siam Seaport Limited (KSSP), a multi-purpose deep sea port in Laem Chabang, Thailand, has announced optimisation improvements in partnership with Kaleris.
The Navis N4 Terminal Operating System was optimised to reduce truck driving distances by 20 per cent and container rehandles by 10 per cent, significantly improving productivity and lowering carbon emissions.
The terminal launched the optimisation programme as KSSP’s annual volume steadily grew and exceeded one million TEU to ensure its operations would scale in the most efficient, sustainable and cost-effective way.
The Kaleris Optimization Services team worked closely with KSSP to identify improvement opportunities in yard strategy, terminal truck operations, and vessel planning. In addition, KSSP implemented advanced planning and optimisation software modules in the Navis N4 including, Quay Commander, Berth Window Manager, Expert Decking, Prime Route, and Autostow.

The reported benefits of the programme include:

- Reduced container rehandling by 10 per cent and failure-to-deck events to almost zero.
- Improved quay crane productivity by one point, providing accelerated service for customers.
- Equipped yard planners with tools to manage the yard more strategically.
- Enhanced collaboration with shipping line stowage coordinators, improving vessel and crane work plans.
- Reduced drayage dwell time, creating a better experience for the KSSP trucking community.
