Navis n4 upgrade
Project Description
In 2018, SLPA decided to upgrade its legacy Navis system to Navis N4’s latest version. As part of a joint venture with Access International, the project was successfully executed, encompassing hardware supply, requirement gathering, customizations, installation, testing, and training. Guided by the Navis team remotely, the Local Access team, led by Rusiru Guruge and Sumudu Dasanayaka as the implementation managers, facilitated a seamless go-live in 2020, achieving a flawless transition without any issues. Throughout this project, I was intricately involved in overseeing and managing each step of the project management process.
“We are thrilled to be running with N4 so we can provide the best possible service to our customers through new and automated processes which will help optimize our operations at the port.”
About
SLPA’s Colombo Port is a growing shipping hub in the South Asia Region, acting as a gateway for cargo to Europe, East and South Asia, the Persian Gulf, and East Africa.
The transshipment port operates at 2.5 million TEU annually.
The port was developed to accommodate deep-water berths and the latest mainline vessels.
As its business was growing, SLPA’s Colombo Port needed an advanced TOS to update its offerings and aid in its business goals of modernizing the facility to ensure enhanced safety, efficiency, and productivity at its location.
The Steering Committee at SLPA noted, “Working with Navis on the implementation of N4 at Colombo Port has been a collaborative effort from Access International, Navis & SLPA teams.
“When COVID hit last year, the organizations showed dedication to executing the project from start to finish despite the challenges brought on by the pandemic.
“We are thrilled to be running with N4 so we can provide the best possible service to our customers through new and automated processes which will help optimize our operations at the port.”.
