Two Colombo Port Terminals adopt upgraded software for their terminal management

The Terminal management system at the state owned Jaya container terminal and East container terminal of Colombo ports have been upgraded to N 4  software with effect from April 29th in order that the Terminals could compete with both National competitors as well as internatinal competitors and keep in line the latest development in the port industry according to Sri Lankan Port authority which owns both the terminals.

The state owned Jaya Container Terminal competitively operates with SAGT and CICT at the Port of Colombo

The state owned Jaya Container Terminal that competitively operates with SAGT and CICT at the Port of Colombo is one of the pioneers and oldest container operating terminals in the region.

The subject upgrade has been a necessity as the new modified inclusions in these Terminal Management Systems are being already used in other Operating Terminals word wide and hence, there was a dire need in having a compatible operating system in Sri Lankan Port Authority  as well in order to provide a world class service qualitatively and in an effective and efficient manner.

This system N-4 software will accurately locate all TEUs being operated at the terminal.

The establishment of N-4 software at the Jaya Container Terminal and  East Container Terminal of Sri Lankan Port Authority will further enable efficient yard and ship planning and gate control that would elevate the Authority's operational productivity. The Position Detection System (PDS) and the Yard Automation that can be enacted with the N-4 software will also be introduced at the JCT/ECT in near future. Hence, this system will accurately locate all TEUs being operated at the terminal.

This new Terminal Management System N4, would enhance the capabilities of interactions between the Cargo Management System (CMS) improving the efficiency in clearing and export of local cargo facilitating the shippers and exporters through Community Access Portal (CAP).
