Cuxport terminal digital investment

The current basic modules of ‘Advantage portos’, a software series related to the port industry and the provider’s connections further inland, are being adapted to the requirements of the terminals.

The terminal management system includes the organisation and supervision of all the handling and warehouse processes and enables an electronical exchange of data with shipping companies, freight forwarders and shippers – as well as with public authorities like the customs services and Niedersachsen Ports, the seaport’s operator.

“…the aim is to map the huge and growing spectrum of services at a multi-purpose port at a system level, as the market demands – and with a view to the ongoing process of digitalisation during the next few years,” said Mario Juranz, project manager at Cuxport.

The system is also designed to simplify current administration as a result of the mobile process controls and the high degree of connectivity with partners.

Peter Zint, managing director of Cuxport, stated: “Our business and freight volumes are growing constantly and this will increase all the more as a result of the completion of our new berth 4 in the middle of 2018.”

Following a launch workshop in June, the system will be further adapted and put into service this month. This process is expected to be completed by August 2018.
