DP World’s Busan terminal in South Korea is to install the BOXBAY high-bay storage system, representing the first commercial use of the system and following a new contract signed between Pusan Newport Corporation (PNC) and Boxbay FZCO (a joint venture of DP World and German plant technology supplier, SMS group).
DP World developed BOXBAY in conjunction with SMS, adapting the storage system originally designed for heavy metal coils.
DP World and SMS built a pilot facility at Jebel Ali Terminal-4 in January 2021 and by the end of June 2022, a total of 190,000 container movements had been successfully completed under realistic daily operating conditions.
Integrating BOXBAY technology in Busan in conjunction with the existing terminal operations will help eliminate 350,000 unproductive container moves per year and improve overall truck servicing time by 20 per cent according to BOXBAY.
