Forth Ports appoints CMC as IT Partner for London container Terminal

12 Jun 2012 Evaluate

CMC has been appointed as IT partner by Forth Ports, owner of the Port of Tilbury for its newly-acquired London Container Terminal (LCT). CMC will work with the UK based port group to implement a new and comprehensive Terminal Operating System, with CMC's Marine and Container Handling (MACH) system at the core of the LCT operation. LCT will handle in excess of 500,000 containers this year, making it the third largest single container operation in the UK and one of the few UK ports servicing both deep sea and short sea customers.

This implementation will fully replace the core terminal operating systems currently in place at LCT and will bring improvements to both the planning and operational aspects of the terminal through the delivery of a world class, modern IT solution. The new system will link to the terminal's automatic gate processing system and will deliver efficiencies in handling and tracking containers both shipside and landside within LCT, as well as allowing for the future expansion of volumes at LCT.

Forth Ports secured 100% ownership of Tilbury Container Services earlier this year as part of its investment programme at the London Port. Tilbury Container Services has now been renamed London Container Terminal (Tilbury) and the Short Sea Container Terminal, previously operated by the Port of Tilbury, is now being integrated with the deep sea operation.

The integration of the short sea and deep sea businesses results in a unique market offering in the UK and, when combined with the planned London Distribution Park covering 65 acres adjacent to the port, confirms Tilbury as a key distribution and transhipment hub for London and the South East of England.

CMC is a Tata group firm and subsidiary of the country's top software company TCS. The company operates in four strategic business units namely customer services (CS), Systems Integration (SI), IT enabled Services (ITES) and Education and Training (E&T). The company has pan-India presence that caters to various sectors such as the railways, banks, government entities and other organisations with countrywide operations.
