Jade Master Terminal won 19 new terminals in a record quarter. International expansion makes news for the terminal operating system around the world.

Small and medium sized terminals are trying to find their niche in the market. To be competitive they need to think outside the box.

Ports are under constant pressure to compete, they need to work faster, turn ships around quicker, load and unload trucks faster, and generally do everything at speed. However while they need to work faster, they also need to work safely. Hazards are everywhere on a port, and accidents can happen at any time. Operators must take every step possible to ensure the health and safety of people on their port, both staff and visitors.

While a port with no terminals is hard to envisage, there are opportunities for ports to be innovative by harnessing the power of information technology.

Break-bulk focused ports need to find ways of improving performance in an economic way.

Abu Dhabi Ports, the master developer, operator and manager of ports and industrial zones in the Emirate, selected Jade Master Terminal for seven ports earlier this year. This week marks the first implementation, successfully completed at Zayed Port.

Developing capacity for peak demand, are putting pressure on existing warehousing port facilities.

Today Jade announced the establishment of new offices in the Netherlands (Rotterdam) and Indonesia (Jakarta) to support the continued growth of their flagship terminal operating system, Master Terminal.
