The system will go live later this year at KAP, which is operated by National Container Terminals. The port is currently undergoing its second stage of development, which will see capacity increased to 2.7 million TEU per annum by the end of 2014.
Officially launched this June at the TOC Europe event in London, CTAS 7.0 Reefer system is Identec Solutions’ latest generation real-time wireless monitoring and control system for refrigerated containers. Ports and container terminal operators can use the system to remotely monitor reefer temperatures, adjust set points, perform pre-trip inspections (PTIs), download data logs and other key functions.
“We are very pleased KAP has become the latest customer to seek the benefits delivered by CTAS Reefer, which gives port and terminal operators the ability to automate monitoring across the end-to-end reefer container visit,” said Peter Cosgrove, Senior VP Sales & Services for Identec Solutions. ‘KAP is our first customer in Saudi Arabia and we very much look forward to a long-term partnership.”
“In shaping KAP to be one of the world’s foremost tech-driven ports, selecting IDENTEC’s CTAS Reefer solution was a no-brainer,” said Loai Naamani, CEO of 3M+1, the master systems provider entrusted with the turnkey deployment of all terminal systems and management of the ICT operation at KAP. “We’re shooting for maximum reefer coverage and the freshest user interface on the market with CTAS Reefer.”
