London Gateway selects SPARCS N4 TOS

The system will run automated processes at the port’s gate, in the container yard with its automated container handling equipment and at the rail terminal. In addition, SPARCS N4 will manage the transfer of containers to and from the adjacent logistics park.

Although a similar system is in use at other DP World terminals, including Antwerp, this project is the first joint Navis-Cargotec deployment of software with automated container handling equipment.

Navis and Cargotec teams are now working closely on the integrated deployment of the Navis Terminal Operating System (TOS) and an Automated Equipment Control System. Late last year, Cargotec announced it had signed a cooperative agreement with DP World London Gateway to supply automated stacking cranes and straddle carriers.
