Italian terminal invests in efficiency
An Italian terminal owned by the Turkish Yilport Group is going all out to get operational efficiency with its digital customs system.
San Cataldo Container Terminal (SCCT) at the Port of Taranto will use a Milos IT platform to handle its eCustoms services and Customs Registers modules in order to speed up the flow of cargo through the port.
“Our goal was to reach modern and effective operational processes by exploiting opportunities arising from digitisation and interoperability,” said Raffaella Del Prete, general manager of San Cataldo Container Terminal.
Real-time updates
The Milos TOS connector provided by Italy’s Circle Group will also allow the sharing of automated digital flows with the Terminal Operating System (TOS) used at the terminal, guaranteeing real time updates and management of data using a simple and user-friendly dashboard.
Circle has previously provided digital TOS solutions to major Italian terminals and ports like Genoa, Savona, La Spezia, Leghorn, Civitavecchia, Salerno, Ravenna, Venice and Trieste.
“It’s a big honour for us to support SCCT Yilport in the start-up of activities. It is the first important result in a multistep strategy and partnership to exploit Taranto port opportunities,” commented Luca Abatello, CEO & President of Circle Group.
This is the latest investment in the terminal which will see Yilport Holdings spend EUR75m over the next five-years.
In May 2020, Port Strategy reported that work on the deep-sea container terminal was resumed following easing of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.
Yilport Holding is currently executing its Phase 1 investment of over EUR20m in SCCT as stipulated in its 49-year concession agreement.
