GPS Installation - Virginia International Terminals
The Virginia International Terminals, Inc. was established in 1982 as a result of the movement towards unification of the Ports of Hampton Roads. The Port Terminal Operations in its quest to better utilize resources began researching ways to improve their yard container accuracy, deploy systems that track assets, and deploy a "bridge" and container location management system. To satisfy this need, PEMCCO is installing and integrating a GPS-based solution utilized by Port Management to effectively track the management of containers as containers enter and exit the terminal and as they pass through transfer zones. This equipment will optimize operations, improve scheduling and reduce costs associated with finite resources such as: manpower, fuel, vehicle maintenance, and repair. The overall benefit to VIT will result in more efficient terminal operations by increasing the ability to better identify and manage terminal containers, and other shipping assets.
