Haifa Port Successfully Upgrades its TOS System

Haifa Port successfully completed the implementation of an updated version of its Terminal Operating System (TOS) over the last weekend. The TOS is the core system for managing port operations.

The new version of the TOS, produced by American company Kaleris, represents a technological leap and allows for work with an innovative system used by the world's most advanced ports. The upgrade is expected to improve operational efficiency, shorten cargo handling times, and upgrade the level of service provided to port customers.

The upgrade process began last Friday, December 19, and the port is ready to start working under the updated version from the coming week.

Yoav Margalit, Head of Container Terminals at Haifa Port, said: "This move puts Haifa Port on par with leading advanced ports in the world, and is expected to contribute significantly to improving the port's capabilities and operational processes, for the benefit of its customers and business partners."

Ron Gester, Deputy CEO of Information Systems, said: "Updating such a core system is not done at the push of a button, and it poses a challenge both to the port's computing and operational personnel and to Kaleris' experts. We are proud to say that the world's most advanced system in its field is now installed at Haifa Port."

The TOS (Terminal Operating System) at Haifa Port is an advanced operational computing system for managing port operations and serves as a central tool for planning, control, coordination, and execution of all cargo movements and equipment. This is a dedicated computer software that aggregates real-time information on terminal operations, improves its efficiency, shortens waiting times, optimally utilizes resources and the overall work planning of the port. The system provides real-time information on the location and type of cargo, timing of operations, coordination between different factors, and monitoring of ongoing operational activity.
