Gioia Tauro migrates to Navis N4

Medcenter Container Terminal (MCT), Contship Italia Group’s flagship mega-hub in the Italian Port of Gioia Tauro, has completed a major terminal operation system (TOS) upgrade – on time, on budget and without a hitch!

All operational activities were suspended for six hours in order to migrate all data records from the legacy system to the new Navis N4 TOS, with a final validation of a successful transfer taking place before operations recommenced.  Initially three cranes were deployed, followed by a further three during the same shift, with MCT ready to assume “normal service” within 12 hours, as planned.

Since operating its first ship in September 1995, the facility’s IT management systems have continuously evolved to manage the needs of a growing business; after almost 20 years of operations this was the first complete shut-down of activity.
