YICT improves truck entry/exit process
Port Community Cards (PCC) has been introduced for truck drivers to access Customs electronic gatehouse at Yantian International Container Terminals (YICT) and Shenzhen Customs. Using infrared technology, the card can automatically verify container data with the information stored in the Customs computer system. Beyond enhancing container management for shipping lines, the initiative also minimises the amount of time trucks spend at the terminals gatehouses.
Sustained strong demand for Australian coal has led to a need for capacity expansion at the terminal to meet the needs of existing and potential mining customers.
Launched by YICT in May 2003, there are currently more than 700 trucking companies, with 15,000 trucks, using the PCC. In addition to providing truckers guidance at YICT’s gatehouses, important information, such as licence plate number and container numbers, is stored on the PCC.
