Customer client: Port of Tanjung Pelepas
About the project: Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP), Malaysia’s largest trans-shipment hub, implemented a new terminal truck optimization (TT-O) solution designed to empower its team to take a smarter approach to scheduling and dispatching moves to terminal tractors.
Solution: Kaleris developed the terminal truck optimization product to integrate closely with the latest version of the company’s N4 TOS. The solution uses enhanced logic to assign truck moves, with automated strategy adaptation to dynamically respond to changing yard conditions. By leveraging real-time data, including truck GPS positions and job completion status, TT-O ensures trucks are efficiently assigned to the nearest available move. This minimizes idle time, maximizes productivity, and optimizes horizontal container movements across the yard. The solution also enables dual cycle handling and prioritization based on each crane’s performance, maximizing quay crane moves and lowering their wait times.
Results: Within two months of deployment of the TT-O, PTP experienced
- 14% improvement in truck productivity
- 20% increase in laden truck travel
- 20% reduction in quay crane waiting time
- 11% reduction in truck deployment
7% reduction in fuel consumption
Using the solution to strategically plan truck movements across multiple zones, drivers received their job assignments 44% faster, leading to a 13% reduction in truck cycle time. PTP’s skilled workforce leveraged this acceleration to set a new record for the terminal of 14,914 quayside moves in a single 12-hour shift and 1,420 moves in one hour within that shift.
