Portek seals PNG ports deal

Portek seals PNG ports deal
Singapore: Portek International has agreed with Papua New Guinea Ports Corporation (PNGPCL) to train staff and provide a terminal management system to its two largest container terminals, the 140,000 teu Lae Port container terminal and the 79,000 teu Port Moresby, in the capital city.

The five-year collaboration at the two ports will include training of PNGPCL personnel in port operations, including the use of Portek's
in-house terminal management system (TMS).

The deployment of personnel is expected in January 2013. Portek's staff  will assist in the process of re-engineering PNGPCL's current
operations and customising them into the terminal management system which Portek will be implenting at the two ports.

PNGPCL first worked with Portek 18 months ago when it supplied 10 refurbished rubber-tyred gantry cranes to the same ports.
