Belfast Harbour deploys Saab KleinPort system
Belfast Harbour has deployed Saab's KleinPort port management information system to manage harbour operations, the company announced on 3 September.
The harbour began live operations using KleinPort on 1 September. The system is used to manage and track vessel operations and services, record cargo data, generate billing and execute data analysis and reporting.
Saab's system was selected by the Belfast harbour commission through a public tendering process. It is the first deployment of a Saab port management information solution in the UK.
Trevor Anderson, operations director, Belfast Harbour, said: ‘Belfast Harbour had identified a need for a new port management information system and had a clear vision of what this should do to best support the needs of the port and its customers.
'Saab demonstrated that their solution best meets all of our needs, marrying together innovation, technology, and cutting edge industry processes. With Saab’s assistance the implementation phase has gone very smoothly, has delivered what we were looking for and has gone live on schedule and on-budget.'
