P&O Eurpoort goes with fast gate

As a result of the Fast Gate solution being placed into operation, P&O Ferries is expecting to see improved efficiencies in data management and customer services for freight operations involving both road and rail activities.

Surikat has confirmed that Fast Gate features include:

• Handling all gate processes for rail, plus accompanied & unaccompanied freight.
• New electronic signage at the freight gate to provide clear and easy-to-follow instructions for drivers.
• A Visy camera portal that will analyse all vehicles entering and exiting the terminal, for both road and rail traffic, providing ANPR (automatic number plate recognition), vehicle measurement and a full 360-degree capture of the vehicle and unit condition.
• A self-service kiosk providing a multi-language user interface for drivers to gate-in and out of the terminal automatically, or to check in for a sailing.
• An automated barrier system for swift entry and exit of the terminal.

“We are excited to introduce Surikat’s automated gate solution at Europoort, offering a streamlined and customer-centric approach to freight operations,” says Alex Cork, P&O Ferries, adding, “This system not only enhances our operational efficiency but also prioritises the convenience and safety of our valued customers.”
