CSP Zeebrugge Terminal has become the first facility within the COSCO SHIPPING Ports family to complete the installation of the Navis N4 terminal operating system.

Thanks to the new software, the container terminal "[…] will also be utilizing expert decking for improving yard strategy and prime route for optimal use of available resources [incl. seven super post-panamax ship-to-shore cranes and three 780 m-long each rail tracks].  By automating some of these processes, CSP Zeebrugge hopes that they can be more transparent with stakeholders and help employees focus on their core tasks and deliverables," Navis wrote in a press release.

"Based on their past successes and being the leader in terminal operating software, partnering with Navis was the right decision to push our business goals forward. Bringing N4 to CSP Zeebrugge took careful planning and dedication from partners and the migration team and we are happy at the result we achieved at the end of the project," Stefan Vanparys, N4 Project Lead, CSP Zeebrugge, commented.

Mark Welles, VP Global Partnerships, Navis, added, "CSP Zeebrugge is the first successful N4 rollout in COSCO SHIPPING Ports' TOS standardization program. Navis is continuing joint efforts to roll out N4 in the COSCO SHIPPING Ports terminal network across the globe in the coming months."
