Operational boost for Romanian terminal

DP World Constanta has upgraded its terminal legacy system to a Navis N4 in order to move towards a more automated operation.

“Implementing an award-winning terminal operating system, created by Navis, is a key element in our continued growth,” said Cosmin Carstea, managing director, DP World Constanta.

“The improved functionality to serve our customers better, which the system provides us, will help achieve our aim to position DP World Constanta as the leading Black Sea gateway for containerized goods destined for the European hinterland.”

DP World Constanta has operated on legacy Navis systems for 16 years and has a current annual capacity of 1.2 million teu and averages 26 moves per hour.

As part of the migration, the terminal has already integrated its existing vehicle booking solution with N4 and will be moving towards fully automated gate and rail operations, all integrated with N4, later in 2020.

Following the deployment of the automatic gate system, the terminal will explore Navis’ AutoStow to accompany its Expert Decking and PrimeRoute optimisation modules currently in place.

DP World Constanta is located in the west of the Black Sea, serving both the Romanian domestic market and a wider hinterland spreading into parts of Central Europe, together with feeder connections to the Ukraine, Russia, Georgia and Moldova.

Navis, a part of Cargotec Corporation, is a global provider of performance and efficiency technologies and services.
