Asia’s first fully-automated terminal implements Navis N4

Asia’s first fully automated terminal Qingdao New Qianwan Container Terminal (QQCTN) has implemented Navis N4 terminal operating system (TOS) as part of the first phase of a wider automation project.

The terminal, located at the Port of Qingdao, China, went live commercially earlier this month and is undergoing a three-phased automation project.

According to Navis, QQCTN, which has two berths with a 1.5m teu capacity during its first phase, implemented N4 to leverage advanced functionality for automated equipment, including optimised scheduling and dispatching, and analytics.
