SNP is the largest container terminal operator in Vietnam, primarily established for its sea-port operation services. They have remained at the forefront as terminal operators in Vietnam, accounting for more than 92% of the market share in Ho Chi Minh City area and 50% nationwide. A vast portion of this renowned growth is awarded to Tan Cang – Cat Lai terminal, which has developed a consistent increase in container throughput since the installation of RBS TOPS Terminal Operating System in 2008. From 2011 to 2018, the terminal increased its annual container throughput from approximately 2.6M TEUs to 4.7M TEUs.

Tan Cang – Cat Lai Terminal initially deployed TOPX Advance in 2008 as their graphical container planning and control system for port operations. By the end of 2015, they decided to adopt RBS’ TOPO Advance container management system and have since been running the full TOPS terminal operating system. The terminal still accomplished outstanding results from using only a fraction of the features offered in TOPS Advance.

The terminal has ten berths and is equipped with 30 QCs, all of which have been optimized using TOPS Advanced to induce an increase in QCs mph. With this proven solution, terminal capabilities will continue to optimize on resources and operations, which in term will drive further enhancements in performance.

Already, the terminal has achieved a grand milestone of being the largest and most modern international container terminal in Vietnam, located in District 2, Ho Chi Minh City. With the TOPS already providing real-time control and planning over terminal-, yard-, and warehousing-activities for free port and transhipment port services, the terminal can expect to achieve new goals taking their presence within the Container Handling Industry to greater heights.

As terminal operations and management have become more efficient, HICT terminal welcomes new services deployed by mother vessels with increased capacity and deadweight.

The maiden call of mother vessel Northern Jaguar was welcomed on 13 April 2019, with a handling capacity of 8814 TEU, deadweight of 108 731 DWT, a LOA of 334m, and routing on PN2 service. This service is operated by THE ALLIANCE between Hapag Lloyd, Ocean Network Express and Yang Ming Line on trans-pacific route with a regular call at HICT, supplying a direct service from North Vietnam to Tacoma (U.S.A) and Vancouver (Canada). In comparison to the previous route calling at overseas transshipment hubs, lead time from Haiphong to the west coast of the U.S.A and Canada is reduced from 25 days to 17 days.

HICT terminal has introduced the call of mother vessel Wan Hai 805 on 7 May 2019. The new mother vessel holds a capacity of 11 923 TEU, deadweight of 132 000 DWT, and is LOA of 330m. Direct service from North Vietnam to the west coast of U.S.A. is provided by a consortium between Wan Hai Lines (Taiwan), Cosco Shipping Lines (China), Pacific International Lines (Singapore) on CP1/SEA/AC5 service with a regular call at HICT. A rotation along HICT – Nanshan – Hong Kong – Yantian – Long Beach – Oakland reduces the lead time from Haiphong Vietnam to the west coast of the U.S.A from 25 days to 19 days.

The service connects Vietnam and Europe and is operated by both Yang Ming and THE ALLIANCE. The record has exceeded the previous record of 198 containers per hour for the MOL ADVANTAGE vessel in April 2013.

The 5% increase in handling productivity is a milestone reflecting the strategic process for TCIT and reinforces the strong position of the Vietnam Maritime Industry worldwide. RBS offers our deep appreciation and is enthusiastic about working together to achieve greater results in the prospective future.

Realtime Business Solutions (RBS) has signed another contract with Pelindo 1 on August 2018 for PT Prima Terminal Petikemas in Medan, Indonesia (PTP). PTP follows in the footsteps of PT Prima Multipurpose Terminal in Kuala Tanjung, Indonesia, as it orders identical ARTGs from Konecranes and adopting the RBS TOPS Expert System. The Go Live date for this Terminal is planned to be in the early months of 2020. RBS is glad to be part of the new Automation wave in the Indonesian terminals.

Pelindo 1 has teamed up with the Port of Rotterdam Authority and DP-World to develop an integrated port – PT Prima Multipurpose Terminal in Kuala Tanjung, Indonesia (PTM). The multipurpose terminal has a 30,000 square metre dock and a 2.8 kilometre trestle for four truck lanes with a width of 18.5 meters. With huge investments of US$2.5 billion into the Multipurpose terminal, PTM adopted Konecranes’ Automated RTGs (ARTGs) for their operations, along with RBS TOPS Expert System to control and manage their operations. RBS TOPX Expert system is fully integrated with the Konecranes’ automation and works together to improve operational efficiency. The contract with RBS was signed in July 2018 and RBS TOPS successful Go Live was on 15/02/19. With its new automated equipment and integrated TOS, PTM has a positive outlook to achieve its goals for 2019 and years to come.

The implementation was done by RBS together with the local partner and in close cooperation with the customer. This setup bring the best value to the customer with local experience and the proven automation approach from RBS.

In this implementation the customer benefited from the experience and the proven solution of RBS together with Konecranes which is already implemented on other terminals. The approach to control the equipment from the TOS and talk directly to the equipment control system, PTM can gain all the benefit of a true real-­time system with the fast and efficient decision taking and dispatching. This has been proven extremely important in automated terminals, so that the TOS can react fast on operational interruptions.

In 2018, TCIT reached over 1.6 Million TEUs and help 55% of the market share of Cai Mep area, and continues the be one of the largest ports in Vietnam, after its 8 years in operation. TCIT is recognized as Vietnam’s largest deep water port, and has the highest growth rate with 21% annual average growth rate, setting a record of over 1 Million TEU throughput 3 years in a row. According to Mr. Tran Khanh Hoang – Chairman of the Members’ Council of TCIT, “2019 will be a year of continued development and prosperity of container terminals in Cai Mep – Thi Vai area.”

In 2019, TCIT plans to improve service quality, invest in more modern equipment and implement policies and processes to improve their operational efficiency. Along with RBS TOPS system, TCIT has a bright and positive year ahead, to grow into one of Vietnam’s most important and largest terminals.

Congratulations to Tan Cang – Cai Mep International Container Terminal (TCIT) for the new record in handling 9,957 TEUs volume of one container vessel, the NYK SWAN. This record is the highest M/V handling output ever in Vietnam Maritime History and has proven that the terminal can handle super-large vessel’s especially those on the Asia-Europe route. TCIT has a vital role in shortening transport time between Vietnam and European ports and helps to save costs for importers/exporter contributing to promote global growth between Vietnam and other countries.

Congratulations to the whole TCIT Team for achieving this great milestone!
