Saigon Premier Container Terminal Selects Navis(TM) SPARCS N4 Terminal Operating System
Navis, a Zebra Technologies company (NASDAQ:ZBRA) and the world’s
first company to automate marine terminal operating systems (TOS),
announced today that Saigon Premier Container Terminal (SPCT) will
implement the new Navis™ SPARCS N4 TOS to
streamline operations at its greenfield site in Ho Chi Minh City,
Vietnam.
SPCT is being built in the Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park and involves the
construction of a 950 meter quay and facilities on 40 hectares of
adjoining land. Development will be phased, with the Navis
implementation scheduled to go live in January 2009.
"The design of N4 allows us to customize our
TOS which is a key benefit that gives us control of the system,”
said Henry Kwok, the Asia Pacific Director of Information Technology at
DP World, one of SPCT’s major shareholders. "We
naturally pick the Navis software, because we are confident in the
company’s products.”
The SPCT project is an 80/20 joint-venture between DP World and the
Vietnamese state-owned Tan Thuan Industrial Promotion Company (IPC).
Upon completion, SPCT, which is located along the Western shore of the
Soa Rap River, will have the capacity to handle 1.5 million twenty-foot
equivalent units (TEUs – a standard measure
in intermodal transport) a year. Currently, DP World will provide IT
support at SPCT and will hand it over to the local staff after SPCT is
up and running.
Vietnam is the region’s second fastest
growing economy with an average annual growth rate of 7.1% since 2000.
Ho Chi Minh City, the economic centre of Vietnam, is currently served by
various port and terminal facilities along the Saigon River, most of
which have been identified for progressive closure over the next 10 to
15 years.
SPCT, located in close proximity to Ho Chi Minh City’s
industrial hinterland, will eventually handle the cargo that currently
moves through these ports as well as attract new volumes of cargo. The
container market for Ho Chi Minh City grew by 20% in 2007.
"Our Navis SPARCS N4 product is our most
sophisticated terminal operating system to date,”
said Mark Welles, Navis’ Vice President of
Sales in the Japan and Asia Pacific region. "Combining
power, flexibility and ease-of-use, it is designed to help customers
move containers intelligently and maximize the utilization of container
handling equipment. The end result is a smoother operating yard and
better overall return on investment.” About Navis A Zebra Technologies Company
