APM Terminals Bahrain invests in safety and intelligent IT
APM TERMINALS Bahrain, operators of Khalifa bin Salman Port (KBSP), has announced advances in safety performance and information technology upgrades, reports Mumbai's STAT Trade Times.
This includes the completion of a Load Collision Prevention System (LCPS) pilot project scheduled to be implemented throughout the APM Terminals Global Terminal Network.
"Our HSSE, Terminal Asset Management and IT teams have all been working closely together on the recent Safety initiatives that APM Terminals is implementing globally," said APM Terminals Bahrain managing director Mark Hardiman.
APM Terminals Bahrain was selected as the first terminal to introduce and live-test the LCPS, following two years of research, engineering and initial testing by APM Terminals to reduce the risk of accidents due to collisions in the container yard between container handling equipment and stacked containers.
Technical innovations and procedural changes were put into place on KBSP's rubber tyre gantry cranes (RTGs) and reach stackers (RS).
The investments made in collision avoidance and distance detection systems included installation of state-of-the-art cameras on all of the RTGs to remove blind spots faced by the operators and enhanced night vision features.
The success of the programme, known as "Project Stack" has led to plans to introduce the new equipment and procedures at other APM Terminals facilities next year, as the improved safety features are rolled out globally.
