Navis, the provider of operational technologies and services for the global shipping industry, has gone live with Master Terminal by Navis at its long-time customer Inter Modal Logistic (IML) Milano Segrate Terminal (Ignazio Messina & C SpA).
More specifically, IML – Milano Segrate is Messina’s first intermodal terminal to go live on Master Terminal with future plans to expand to the Vicenza and Dinazzano inland terminals.
The intermodal container depot, which operates at 100,000TEU annually, receives cargoes from Genoa by train and distributes them across Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and southern Italy.
It is currently going through upgrading processes in its inland and intermodal terminals to integrate with the Intermodal Marine Terminal in the Port of Genoa which has operated on the terminal operating system (TOS) for more than 10 years.
According to a statement, the three-month implementation was supported by the staff of the Genoa terminal who spearheaded training for gate clerks, yard supervisors, and yard planners at Milano, alongside Navis who provided advanced training and go-live support.
The Master Terminal operating system provides an integrated, real-time view of all operations and data at any marine or inland terminal to enhance productivity via data-driven decision making while helping manage general and mixed cargo with intermodal capabilities.
“Since Genoa was already using Master Terminal, it was a quick and seamless implementation in Milano,” said Jacques Marchetti, General Manager of Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) at Navis.
“Improving yard operations was one of the biggest priorities on this project and as Messina terminals continue to integrate Master Terminal, crews will become even more efficient,” he added.
