Case Study: New York Container Terminal achieves inventory control, cost savings, and emissions compliance with AMCS Fleet Maintenance

AMCS Fleet Maintenance on the Docks at NY Container Terminal

New York Container Terminal (NYCT), a 200-acre Staten Island deep-water facility, manages an unusual 330-unit fleet—including yard hustlers, container handlers, forklifts and a diesel-electric locomotive. When Charlie Priscu became Manager, Power Equipment the shop relied on paper records and a few spreadsheets, had no consistent preventative maintenance program, suffered inventory discrepancies and failed external audits.

Priscu trained on and rolled out AMCS Fleet Maintenance with a barcoding module and handhelds to track parts, fuel usage, hours and work orders. Within a year NYCT earned an A+ audit, reclaimed inventory value (from about $300K to $550K), improved parts and warranty control, documented compliance with Port Authority clean-air rules, reduced downtime and gained visibility into underutilized assets — with rapid, responsive vendor support.
