Information technology to boost

operations efficiency and reduce

congestion at container and mixed cargo
ports
Dan Pershin, Director of Marketing, Solvo, St. Petersburg
 Global technology trends in port and terminal logistics

• Terminal automation = challenge for CTs to handle fewer but very large calls
• Digital supply chain and collaboration
• Port-centric logistics
• Single window system
• Enhanced information security

• Hosting IT infrastructure in the cloud

• Artificial intelligence on steroids

 Vessel planning efficiency boost

•Automate load and discharge planning

•Automatically sequence cranes
•Reduce errors when creating and executing cargo plans
•Monitor vessel processing in real time
•Automate information exchange with agents
•Store entire vessel call and cargo plan history in one
central location

Load and discharge

planning time
Before: 6 hours
Now: 15 min
 Quay crane operator’s efficiency
Installed at the mounted terminal in the STS
crane’s cabin. Allows real-time confirmation
of all container moves during loading
discharging.

QC efficiency
increased by 7%
 VRT (Voice recognition technology)
Voice recognition technology (VRT) provides
communications between the crane operator and the
ground personnel.
 Example: TOS disables vessel container loading without VGM

\\\\

Solvo.TOS blocks delivery and loading

of container onto the vessel without
VGM data
 Dynamic stacking: rules

The system finds a stack for the load based on putaway rules.
For example, all MSC containers are to be placed in zone 1 of the yard storage area, while CMA containers
go to the stacks in zone 2.

Zone 1

Zone 2
 Dynamic stacking: strategies

The specific location in a stack is chosen by the system in accordance with assigned putaway strategies. For example,
unoccupied locations at the lowest tier are taken first.
 Equipment pooling and routing optimization

15%
Increased efficiency of MHEs thanks to using
forecasting methods when an assignment is
generated

Create a CHE route Selecting the Control job

CHE sequencing Route search
with checkpoints optimal job performance
 RS efficiency

RS empty runs reduction by 35-

40% thanks to “dual cycling”
or ability of handling 2 containers
(inbound and outbound) in one go.
 Equipment automation

Used for precise positioning of CHEs under any

conditions, allow to identify the location and other
characteristics of CHE even the weight of the
container in real time as soon as the container is
grabbed by the spreader, even in tight spaces due to
closely placed container stacks, which typically block
the direct GPS signal between the receiver and
satellite
 Automated multi-parameter rail load and discharge

28%
Automatic planning of rail car

productivity
 Preliminary vehicle booking

Solvo.VBS regulates traffic flows of containers

and heavy trucks to and from the port area
and facilitates
automation of the port and terminals gate
processes using time-slotting technology and
remote truck-visit requests.

30%
Faster truck turnaround
 Cargo pick-up authorized by e-signatures

Solvo supports the use of electronic authorizations signed with e-signatures for the pick up of import
containers at the port.

• Authorizations formalized by forwarders for nominated

containers through web-portal

• Authorization can be given to whitelisted truck drivers only

90%
• Authorizations are signed using e-signatures right on the
web-portal

Elimination of the risk of forgery and

releasing cargo to unscrupulous carriers
or violators
 Integrated gate-in/gate-out management

Streamlined gate management processes: gate entry/exit, security check, truck-

driver management in service center and more, allowing a significant reduction
in truck turn-around time and rehandles in the yard.

30% Faster truck turnaround

Reduced number of import
containers rehandles by up to

10%
 KPI dashboards

Highlights:

KPI dashboards are designed specifically

to visualize all kinds of stats about
operations of a stevedoring company.
The user works with KPI indicators
through a special web-based GUI. The
main window is an interactive dashboard
the user can easily manage. The panel or
dashboard consists of tabs similar to
those of a WEB browser.
 Multi-site = better visibility and lower deployment cost

• Allows to manage remote sites from a single location;

• Each warehouse has unique parameters and settings
