Under the deal, HPC, an established port consultancy with expertise in TOS deployment and technology at container terminals, will support the implementation of N4 at all three HHLA container terminals.

HPC Hamburg Port Consulting managing director Henning Kinkhorst said: "The collaboration with Navis for the roll-out of the N4 terminal operating system in ports and handling companies worldwide complements our strongly expanding strategic IT consulting business unit.

"We are able to contribute our extensive knowledge of ports to this collaboration, where we benefit in particular from our many years of experience with the integration of processes at the interface between people, machines and IT systems.
