Northport, part of the MMC Group, will partner with Kaleris to implement the TOS project starting in January 2024, which will be crucial to improving the future-proofing terminal’s infrastructure and facilities.

“The enhancement of our Terminal Operating System systems is a significant step towards elevating operational efficiency and resource management,” said Dato’ Azman Shah Mohd Yusof, chief executive officer of Northport.

“This system enhancement is a testament to our commitment to delivering a seamless, efficient and optimised experience within the port ecosystem.”

Future-proofing 

Since the takeover of Northport by MMC in 2016, the port has embarked on a transformation. The“Reinventing Northport” initiative is a strategic programme with the objective of transforming Northport into a safer, greener, smarter and better port.

The Navis N4 Terminal Operating System is part of a solutions suite from supply chain execution software expert Kaleris.

It will empower Northport to navigate day-to-day operations as efficiently as possible, minimising container rehandles for more sustainable operations and speeding vessel turnaround time for shippers.

Northport will deploy N4 as part of a turnkey solution from Kaleris, which includes workforce management software and all hardware components in the implementation. The Navis Terminal Operating System is used in more than 500 ports worldwide, including Port of Tanjung Pelepas.
