A few other Korean companies are joining in the project as the consortium members. With expectations of considerable increase in the container cargo volume, which could lead to the increase of traffic at logistics supply chain, BPA already gets a stride to strengthen the international competitiveness of the Busan Port, the world?s 5th busiest container port and achieving over 14,000,000TEUs, as the leading mega hub port of Northeast Asia and international trans-shipment port. As parts of these efforts, BPA plans to establish „BPA-NET,? a ubiquitous port community system designed to increase the efficiency of port operation, improve the service quality by next generation ubiquitous system and create value added service across the maritime industry. TSB is selected as a major software and relevant service provider of this PCS with its proven expertise and experience in the world.
“We are sure that TSB is the right partner to design the BPA-NET for integrating and providing logistics information of Busan Port under the ubiquitous business environment. Users can enjoy seamless information exchange and availability of the port information anytime, anywhere,” said Hee-Soo Park, Director of Port IT TF Team in BPA. He added, “In particular, TSB?s experience and expertise in the development and implementation of „PLUS? brought the success of the BPA-NET ISP and will be a key player in making the BPA-NET as a gateway to strengthen Busan Port and provide advanced information exchange service coupled with the existing fast and accurate customer service as well as increasing vessel callings and attracting more cargo traffic.”
“We are delighted to support this valuable project for making Busan Port as a leading port in the world with our flagship product, PLUS,” said Mr. J.S. Choi, CEO & President of TSB. “This project means a lot for us to win the confidence of BPA once again after BPA-NET ISP. Based in Busan, we will continue to stay as a close and reliable technical partner by providing the solutions and services above customer?s expectation.”
