Abu Dhabi Terminals Prepares for Next Level of Automation with Navis

Navis announced that Abu Dhabi Terminals (ADT) has successfully upgraded to N4 3.4. Following a successful migration in March 2018, the terminal is now ready to execute its plans for next level automation, efficiency and accuracy improvements.

ADT manages and operates Khalifa Port Container Terminal, the first semi-automated container terminal in the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) region.

Currently, ADT handles an annual throughput of 1.6 million TEU and is a central component of the UAE’s maritime infrastructure – serving as the main gateway to the Abu Dhabi market and significant hub for regional trade.

With a strategic focus on technology and innovation, the terminal has selected to continue its relationship with Navis as its TOS provider, to deliver high-level automation that brings prompt and cost-effective services to customers with efficiency and accuracy.

“Migrating to a new system, even with the same provider, is a major undertaking for any terminal and poses many potential challenges,” said Arturo Garcia, Chief Information Officer at Abu Dhabi Terminals.

Abu Dhabi Terminals has upgraded its TOS to help further reduce vessel and truck turnaround times, enable increases in terminal productivity and reductions in cost per move, all while reducing the risk of human error.

Chuck Schneider, VP and GM of the EMEA region at Navis: “Following its migration, ADT is well equipped to provide safe, highly productive and cost efficient services, ensuring that the global and local competitiveness of its customers remains second-to-none.” (Source: Navis).
