As of July 01, 2016, it will become mandatory to verify a container’s weight before it is loaded onto a vessel.

Since March this year, Jade Logistics’ terminal operating system, Master Terminal, has been ready to capture a container’s VGM, making Jade one of, if not the first TOS vendor to introduce this functionality into their software.

Jade Logistics is proud to work alongside Abu Dhabi Ports and congratulate them on their 10th Anniversary.

With new container weighing regulations due to take effect in July 2016, is your port in position to capitalize on this industry-changing opportunity? 

Jade Logistics has successfully gone live with its terminal operating system (TOS), Master Terminal, at three of seven sites for Abu Dhabi Ports  (ADP).

The Baltic Dry Shipping Index, regarded as an insight into the state of world trade, has fallen to an all-time low.

In a container-centric region, Mexican logistics firm CICE have managed to find an attractive niche. As the only company in Veracruz port that can handle mixed cargo, including bulk, break bulk, vehicles, machinery, project cargo, as well as containers, CICE have found a defendable position in the market.

Jade has recently implemented three of seven all-new Master Terminal terminal operating systems for Abu Dhabi Ports. Zayed Port went live first on July 1 after a six month implementation phase, a record for a general cargo terminal of its size.

For growing and ambitious ports, challenging bigger competitors often requires investment in new information technology like terminal operating systems, but the potential risks of moving away from established systems can be a barrier. What are these perceived risks and how can they be addressed?

Abu Dhabi Ports – the master developer, operator and manager of ports and industrial zones in the emirate ― handled 19 per cent more general and bulk cargo in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.
