Maher back to ‘normal’

Back in June, Maher extended its container free time and freeze demurrage charges as it cleared a backlog caused by computer glitches during the changeover from its aging in-house TOS to a new Navis SPARCS N4 system.  Since that time, a number of ships have been diverted to other facilities top ease the problems.

Claiming that the new TOS implementation has “turned the corner”, the two companies further state: “service has returned to acceptable levels during the past several weeks, albeit at reduced volume”.

“Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this steady progress has now put the terminal in a position to handle all of its business and transition to normalised operations,” the statement continues.
