The Port of Fremantle, currently fourth busiest in Australia, is at the forefront of adopting digitisation and technology solutions, with around 89% of its daily delivery orders from its shipping line partners being received electronically.

Containerchain, developer of cloud-based software solutions for optimizing the container shipping and landside container logistics industry, announced that Ports of Auckland, has signed a 10-year contract to implement its Terminal Solution, consisting of its Notifications vehicle booking system (VBS) and eGate / Driver products.

Containerchain has launched its VBS product Notifications at Port of Tauranga’s Sulphur Point seaport terminal in New Zealand. This is the first of several major projects with Port of Tauranga and Ports of Auckland via their joint venture data management entity, Port Connect.

Containerchain’s new Notifications product release will be launched on Thursday 1st of August 2019. To support new and existing users make the most of the new product, there has been a series of training videos and user guides developed.

We see great strategic value in the team’s container management technology and expertise, connectivity across landside communities and significant market penetration in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. Importantly this acquisition further expands our offering and ability to reach new customer segments."
