KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 (Bernama) -- Malaysia’s largest transshipment hub, Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP), was recently honoured with the Supply Chain Innovator of the Year: Digital Transformation Award at the 2024 Supply Chain Asia (SCA) Awards.
The award recognises the port’s use of Navis maritime solutions from Kaleris to power data-driven decision-making capabilities, predictive analytics, and real-time monitoring as part of an overall digital transformation journey.
"This award is a well-earned recognition of PTP and the pivotal role they play in driving the industry forward by redefining the standards of operational excellence. PTP continues to embrace ongoing improvements from advanced technology.
“As a highly innovative port, PTP understands how optimising its operations has a positive effect on downstream logistics and the larger global supply chain,” said Kaleris chief executive officer, Kirk Knauff in a statement.
Meanwhile, PTP chief operations officer, Joe Schofield who has been at the forefront of championing PTP’s digital transformation over the past seven years, stated that this award is a testament to the company’s commitment to operational excellence and innovation.
PTP was selected in the Transformation category for its significant achievements with the Navis N4 RTG-Optimization and OpsView solutions, in which the OpsView data gave PTP the information it needed to set a new performance benchmark of one container move completed every three seconds.
The port also drove the innovation behind the Navis RTG-Optimization module, developed in partnership with Kaleris, where PTP uses the technology to automate decision-making on Rubber-Tired Gantry (RTG) jobs, blocks, and lane assignments.
PTP considers innovation a core element of its mission, operating advanced equipment capable of serving ultra-large container vessels and providing numerous terminal handling services enabled by the Navis N4 terminal operating system from Kaleris.
By introducing real-time terminal operations monitoring with Navis OpsView, PTP improved its operational efficiency, increased berth productivity, and reduced operating costs.
The SCA Awards is a platform dedicated to honouring outstanding accomplishments and milestones of professionals and enterprises within the logistics and supply chain sector in Asia.
The Innovator of the Year category looks across key areas to determine leadership in innovation, including a demonstrated implementation of groundbreaking solutions or technologies, tangible positive outcomes from the innovations, scalability, sustainability, and the potential to shape future trends.
