Increasing Port Capacity and Speed ​​Through Various Port Technology

In the era of rapid digitalization, port technology plays a key role in improving the efficiency and capacity of the world’s ports. Leading ports such as the Port of Shanghai and the Terminal of Martinique have implemented modern management systems to optimize the efficiency, speed, and sustainability of their operations. By adopting advanced technologies such as hyperconverged infrastructure and the Terminal Operating System (TOS), these ports have managed to speed up loading and unloading times, reduce carbon emissions, and increase container handling capacity. TransTRACK, through its Port Transport System, is also here to provide solutions for ports seeking to achieve similar efficiencies, providing real-time monitoring and management technology that is ready to support the smooth flow of logistics. 

To learn more about how modern port technologies like these have been implemented and their impact on ports, see the case studies below.

Case Study: Port of Shanghai Transformation with Hyperconverged Port Technology

The Port of Shanghai has successfully adopted advanced hyperconverged port technology to optimize operations and improve cargo handling efficiency. With up to 200% increased computing and storage performance, the infrastructure supports automation and artificial intelligence (AI) to speed up the loading and unloading process by up to 30%, saving 10 hours per ship on the largest container ships. In addition to higher efficiency, the implementation of this technology has also helped the port reduce carbon emissions by up to 10% per year, strengthening its position as a leading automated port in the world. 

Looking ahead, the Port of Shanghai plans to increase its handling capacity from 4 million to 6.3 million containers by adding new cranes and automated vehicles. The scalable and high-performance hyperconverged infrastructure will enable the Port of Shanghai to continue to innovate and efficiently manage increasingly complex operational needs, realizing its ambition to become a global shipping hub with cutting-edge port technology.

Case Study: Terminal Modernization at Port of Martinique with Terminal Operating System (TOS) Technology

The Pointe des Grives Terminal in Martinique, known as the region’s import and export trade hub and focused on shipping key commodities such as bananas, has taken the strategic step of implementing a new TOS system. This upgrade was carried out to replace the old system that was no longer able to keep up with operational needs, which previously caused unproductive movements, additional costs and delays. 

With the new TOS system, the terminal is able to simplify the integration of data internally and externally, while improving coordination between terminal operators and stevedore workers. Training of a team of “super users” was also provided so that all terminal operations can be carried out optimally. With the more sophisticated TOS system, the Terminal of Martinique now has the capacity to handle 450 incoming and outgoing containers per day, with 250 trucks ready to handle the receipt and delivery of containers. Transit times at the terminal have been shortened to just 25 minutes, while the terminal’s cranes now reach 24 movements per hour. This modernization step is part of the ongoing investment in Martinique’s economic and maritime development, increasing efficiency and supporting the smooth flow of goods that are key to the island’s trade growth.

TransTRACK: Port Transport System Solution for Port Operational Efficiency

As a comprehensive fleet management solution provider, TransTRACK offers a Port Transport System specifically designed to improve operational efficiency and speed in the port environment. With this solution, ports can integrate real-time vehicle movement monitoring, loading and unloading scheduling, and goods management, thereby minimizing waiting time and optimizing traffic management in the port area. TransTRACK ensures that the loading and unloading process and container movement can take place faster, thereby reducing container congestion and facilitating logistics flow.

In addition to efficiency, TransTRACK’s Port Transport System is also equipped with in-depth data tracking and analysis features. Through vehicle movement tracking and daily performance analysis, ports can continuously monitor operational productivity and make data-based decisions for continuous improvement. By integrating this solution, ports have the ability to improve processes, lower operational costs, and reduce environmental impacts through route optimization and reduction of emissions produced by vehicles in the port area.

With TransTRACK’s Port Transport System, ports can achieve higher efficiency and smoother operations. This solution not only speeds up the loading and unloading process and reduces congestion, but also provides important data insights for better decision making.
