Streamlining gate appointments at PET
A new gate appointment system has gone live at the Port Everglades Terminal (PET) in Florida, US.
Advent eModal’s platform includes the proprietary PreGate and Fee Manager applications, which are integrated into the eModal Community Portal (eCP). This integrated solution streamlines operations by increasing cargo visibility, enabling fee payments and scheduling gate appointments.
“Today, marine terminal operators must move ever-increasing cargo volumes within limited terminal acreage,” said Rick Blackmore, chief executive of Port Everglades Terminal.
“With eModal’s PreGate and Fee Manager applications, we can improve gate flow, expand our capacity to allow more throughput and provide better visibility and service to our trucker and shipper community,” he added.
With its eight terminals, Port Everglades is one of the three busiest cruise ports in the world. PET went live with eModal in July 2023, adding to recent milestones including new support for MSC’s Santana service and its July Customer Appreciation Open House.
“The addition of Advent eModal to PET’s already efficient marine terminal operations will be a real plus, especially with the start of MSC’s Santana service to Asia along with MSC’s other services to the Caribbean and Latin America,” said Jonathan Daniels, Port Everglades chief executive and port director.
