Port of Helsingborg, Sweden’s second largest container terminal, continues to advance its modernization initiatives using Kaleris’ N4 Terminal Operating System (TOS).
Over the past 1.5 years, the Port has achieved improvements in productivity, streamlined operational planning, reduced bottlenecks and enhanced overall terminal handling efficiency.
The Port of Helsingborg handles approximately 275,000 TEUs by sea and 25,000 TEUs by rail annually. The adoption of N4 aims to optimize existing areas and invest in innovative technology that increases capacity and improves sustainability.
“The static yard planning solution we had been using was limiting our operational effectiveness. It offered almost no possibility of changing the yard layout easily. Over time, this lack of flexibility led to reduced yard capacity,” said Sanjin Redzepagic, CIO of the Port of Helsingborg. “The Port also lacked a complete picture of its operational data, which is essential information for evaluating how to accelerate efficiency and sustainability goals.”
“With N4, we can dynamically change the yard layout and parameters to increase our capacity within our existing area by up to 30%,” continued Sanjin. “In addition, the Berth Window Management Vessel Planning feature allows us to handle containers much more efficiently by digitizing our berth plan. We used it to decrease the number of container rehandles for vessel loading by 50 percent, improving our efficiency and reducing fuel consumption.”
The Port of Helsingborg also achieved an 8% increase in Gross Moves Per Hour (GMPH), with N4’s robust data analytics and reporting capabilities serving as a key contributor. The Port’s team uses the new level of vessel visit detail now available to them to analyze operational trends and apply these data insights for continuous improvement.
