Navis, a provider of operational technologies, has announced that the Jintang International Container Terminal (JTCT) has gone live with its N4 terminal operating system (TOS).

A part of the Port of Tangshan, the ninth largest port in China, JTCT has selected Navis’ latest TOS to achieve its goal of handling 5 million TEU by 2020.

After achieving 1 million TEU in 2015, for the first time in its history, JTCT has improved year-on-year, most recently exceeding 2.5 million TEU in 2018.

Wang Xiang Wen, IT Department Manager at JTCT, said: “At JTCT, we put an emphasis on quality and efficiency for our business and our customers.

“Implementing N4 at our terminal will allow us to help push our business to the next level and allow our operations to become more standardized and updated, helping us achieve optimal results to remain competitive in our region.”

According to Navis, automation and advanced technologies are becoming increasingly important to efficient terminal operations.
