From OPCSA, it is estimated that the implementation of N4 in Gran Canaria will significantly improve productivity and benefit the terminal’s bottom line. N4 is an essential component to OPCSA’s overall improvement plan, as it will work to minimize the number of unproductive container moves and improve stowage and vessel turnaround times, which will ultimately reduce both time and cost for each operation.
“From the moment we decided to partner with Navis for N4, we looked with enthusiasm at the opportunity to improve our current operations in terms of reliability and productivity and also at the prospect of providing our clients with new options that simplify their work and make it more effective,” said Capt. Jan Nowak, CEO, OPCSA. “Our dedicated and motivated team, under joint project management with Navis experts, was key for a smooth go-live and quick recovery that had our operations back up and running and achieved normal productivity within a week.”
“Navis began working with OPCSA in January’18 on the change over from its previous TOS that was outdated and did not allow the terminal to adapt to the ever-changing ocean shipping environment,” said Chuck Schneider, General Manager, EMEA. “The terminal has committed to making a series of improvements on its road to modernization – both physical and technological – and the investment in N4 allows it to deliver on its promise of significant IT progress for its customers. We’re thrilled that the implementation went off without any unplanned disruption and the OPCSA can now start realizing the many benefits N4 has to offer.”
