LA
and Long Beach officials say data sharing between them and
analytics will increase port productivity with the same physical assets,
reports IHS Media.
Los Angeles and Long Beach port officials are looking to
technology and data sharing to unleash the latent physical capacity and
cargo-handling productivity.
LA
port director Gene Seroka said pilot projects to
foster data sharing among beneficial cargo owners (BCOs), carriers, terminals
operators, truckers, and railways are beginning to deliver the efficiencies.
Speaking to the Harbour Transportation Club, Mr
Seroka said ports and their stakeholders are utilising big data to drive
process improvements for trucker appointments, chassis management and extended
gate hours.
Long
Beach port director Mario Cordero said major gateways across
the United States are looking to technology and supply chain collaboration to
handle mega ships and the demands they are placing on port operations.
But both acknowleged there was much to do. Mr Seroka
recalled how earlier in the day he was driving to the port and saw a long line
of trucks waiting. "Turn times of 80 to 120 minutes are completely
unacceptable," he said.
Said Mr Cordero: "What if we could have zero turn
times?"
Although perfection was not attainable, the ports can use
big data in collaboration with their stakeholders to improve the current
trucker appointment regime, manage chassis through the pool of pools, and
improve cargo flow through container peel-offs, he said.
