Gate in Gate out
The "Gate-in - Gate-out" container flow regulation system for the access of trucks to the container terminals is aimed at managing the drop-off and pick-up movements of containers at APM Terminals and Eurogate.
An EDI interface between Tanger Med Information System and the shipping line systems is being implemented to automatically retrieve notifications of authorisations for the deposit or collection of containers.
The terminal operators will proceed via the same platform by validating the authorisation requests issued by the shipping lines, and possibly offering slots to the carriers according to the operational capacity of the terminal.
