Wartsila and Morocco’s Port of Tanger Med have teamed up to jointly develop a new Port Management Information System (PMIS) that will enhance operational efficiency, port safety and environmental sustainability via data exchange.
The companies said they will co-operate on the development of Just-In-Time (JIT) solutions, machine learning and AI, encouraging data exchange to improve operational efficiency and port safety and reduce carbon and GHG emissions.
The Port Management Information System (PMIS) aims to optimise vessel calls using standardised master and event data, within the scope of Tanger Meds’ commitment to standardisation through the International Taskforce PCO (Port Call Optimisation).
Tanger Med has its own port digitalisation projects, which will be upgraded with a range of added systems. The joint initiative includes the delivery and installation of a Wärtsilä Navi-Harbour VTS System comprising PortLink Port Management Information System, IALA Advanced Coastal Surveillance Radars, VHF Radio Sub-System, Automatic Identification System, Operator Workstation, Network Systems, Ancillary Equipment and a five-year service and support contract. Installation of the services is due to be comple

Finnish technology company Wärtsilä has partnered with Tanger Med, the largest Mediterranean and African container port, to take a new step forward in global port efficiency by co-developing a new Port Management Information System (PMIS).
Both organisations sealed their long-term commitment to deploy modern smart port tools for port operations and digitalisation – including implementing Just-In-Time (JIT) solutions, machine learning and AI as well as other innovative solutions.
Data exchange is expected to improve operational efficiency, port safety, and environmental sustainability in shipping, including reducing carbon and greenhouse gas emissions, according to Wärtsilä.
Following a total investment of $800 million, operations at APM Terminals MedPort Tangier commenced in 2019, and it now celebrates its next major development milestone by kicking off phase-2 of the development, which will add an extra 1 million TEU capacity to its footprint.
Following the terminals inauguration by HRH Prince Moulay Hassan in June 2019, APM Terminals MedPort Tangier ramped up operations, achieving more than 2.2 M TEUs throughput in 2020 with productivity levels reaching above 30 crane moves per hour.
During phase 1, the terminal operated with a 1200 meter-long quay. To support the continued development of the terminal, APM Terminals MedPort Tangier s second phase of development will add an additional 400 meters, increasing the total quay length to 1600 meters. This will add an additional throughput capacity of 1 million containers to reach the previously announced overall capacity of 5 million TEUs.
