Port and Terminal Operations
The Seaport Group has extensive experience in operations optimisations and process design.
Analytical and practical experience resides in Seaport Innovations and Seaport Consultants Canada. Operations planning is a specialty of both Seaport Innovations and Seaport Canada whereby the focus is on sharing best practices regarding:
Operations organization
Operations strategy
Operation processes
Planning of rail, gate, yard and waterside operation
Local union regulations/rules
Operations master planning
An operations master plan typically consists of a description of the operation processes and information flow in sufficient detail to provide appropriate information to the suppliers of TOS supplier, GDPS, automatic gate, and truck appointment system. This allows the IT-systems and automation technology to support the best practice operation based on local conditions.
