The port's uupgrade from Navis SPARCS to the newer N4 solution will enable the terminal operators to create more streamlined terminal operations. It will also allow easier integration of additional third-party tools into the terminal system.

SAGT also plans to utilise N4’s customisable EDI, which will allow clients to map proprietary messages and integrate their own systems into N4.

The initiative is expected to enhance container transparency beyond the terminal to the rest of the supply chain.

Navis provides operational technologies and services to facilitate improved performance and efficiency for terminal operators and ocean carriers.
