Quantum leap for Jebel Ali Port

The introduction of the Rostima Labour Management System (LMS), described as “a quantum leap” by the operator, aims to effectively manage time and significantly reduce costs. Fully integrated with the port’s berth planning and gate automation systems, the LMS determines the best labour requirement based on a forecast of variables such as vessel arrivals and gate appointments.

It also allows for multiple ‘what-if’ scenarios to be analysed in terms of cost and labour utilisation.

The Rostima system is designed to achieve operational continuity around the clock and shorten shift change delays while safeguarding employees’ interests, including optimum sleep cycles, rest periods, visibility over the roster, fair distribution of overtime and days off, meals and prayers and even Ramadan timings.
