Red Sea Gateway Terminal (RSGT) the new grass route container terminal at Jeddah Islamic Port, has confirmed its deployment of its terminal operating system (TOS), indicating that all software has successfully passed operational testing, as it gets ready to receive its first commercial vessel in Dec 2009.

Choosing the leading maritime IT provider Zebra Enterprise Solutions, a
division of Zebra Technologies as its partner, RSGT becomes the first
Middle East terminal operator to use the next generation, of the Navis™
SPARCS N4 TOS.

Currently in place at Durban, Port Elizabeth Container Terminal and
East London Multipurpose Terminal, the Web Based SPARCS N4 operating
system governs the movement of all container logistics and operations
from gate to yard to vessel and offers Red Sea Gateway Terminal
improved customer support, and increased stacking yard capacity. SPARCS
N4 will also provide greater control over resources.

‘SPARCS N4 is a fully integrated solution from gate to yard to vessel,
thereby eliminating the manual processes,” said CEO Aamer Ali Reza.
“RSGT will enjoy benefits such as superior Yard-Vessel, planning and
control, as well as advanced equipment control.”

Zebra Enterprise Solutions, formally known as Navis, has already proven
to be the TOS company of choice with implementations in more than 200
terminals worldwide, including DP World Jebel Ali Terminal 2, , and
Empresa Nacional de Puertos del Peru S.A.

Reportedly a number of large terminals, including Maher Terminals in
New York, and South Africa’s Transnet Port Terminals have also
implemented SPARCS N4.

RSGT seeks to set itself as leader in the region in terms of providing
a world-class service not only to shipping lines, but also to importers
and exporters. Situated at Jeddah Islamic Port, through which 73% of
the Saudi Arabia’s gateway traffic flows, the terminal will accentuate
the port’s status as a regional hub by adding 45% to its annual
capacity, equivalent to 1.5million TEU’s.

“SPARCS N4’s unique combination of functional capabilities and built-in
best practices will put Red Sea Gateway terminal on track to managing
its growth and providing first-rate service to its customers,” said
(”John Anderson – Project Manager ZES). “We enjoyed working with RSGT
and look forward to helping the terminal move to its next level of
success with SPARCS N4.”

Aamer concluded “It is imperative for RSGT to provide world-class
customer service, and with the latest operating system in place, we are
confident we will advance business on the Red Sea, offering efficient
cargo handling and faster ship turnaround times”.
