Case Study: Baltic Container Terminal boosts automation and cuts gate wait times with Kaleris Navis N4

Baltic Container Terminal cuts gate-waiting time from 10 minutes to 2 with Kaleris

Baltic Container Terminal (BCT), a container terminal in Riga, Latvia, faced challenges integrating its automation initiatives across its gate, rail, and quay operations with its existing terminal operating system. The legacy system lacked the necessary customization capabilities and required complex intermediary software, hindering BCT's goal of becoming a more technologically advanced facility. They required a new system to provide a solid foundation for automation and SOLAS compliance.

The vendor Kaleris implemented its Navis N4 Terminal Operating System, which provided straightforward integration and eliminated the need for operators to use a separate gate automation interface. The solution automated traffic flow, captured detailed cargo data, and provided customers with real-time access to their information. As a result, BCT drastically reduced gate waiting times from ten minutes to two minutes, optimized human resources, and increased ground safety, proving advanced technology is viable for smaller terminals.
