First order for Cargotec’s SmartPath

According to a Cargotec statement, by providing MPT with consistent, valid and correct updates of terminal tractor positions, SmartPath will optimise the dispatch process for vessel load and discharge, through automatic job status updates. It avoids manual job step information being entered too early or too late, making the dispatch more efficient. In concert with Navis Prime Route, SmartPath reduces truck idle time and driving distance, leading to lower operational costs through increased fleet utilisation, reduced fuel consumption and maintenance costs.

\”We have embarked on a heavy investment programme in both equipment and the infrastructure, and expect to increase the terminals\’ capacity to over 4.2m teu. With Cargotec SmartPath process automation solutions we expect to further boost our efficiency,\” said Alex Montebello, MPT’s director sales, marketing, IT & operations.

SmartPath is part of the Cargotec SmartPort process automation solutions, which include SmartStack, SmartRail, SmartPath, SmartLifts, SmartTrucks, SmartQuay and SmartFleet.
