Slovenia’s Port of Koper selects Tideworks’ TOS

Luka Koper, the main port and logistics company of Slovenia has selected Tideworks to implement its terminal operating system (TOS) at the Port of Koper, the country’s main seaport. The deployment will comprise Tideworks’ entire suite of TOS solutions including Mainsail Terminal Management System®, Mainsail Online, Spinnaker Planning Management System®, Traffic Control™, Forecast® and Digital Bridge™ performance monitoring tool.


Tideworks Technology was selected to replace the Port’s Cosmos TOS, which had been in place for a number of years and the new TOS is scheduled to go live in Q4 2011.


In addition to directing all aspects of container activities, Tideworks’ TOS will help Luka Koper manage roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) operations with its integrated ro-ro and non-containerised cargo module. As part of the agreement with Luka Koper, Tideworks will provide a number of services including project management, software customisation and testing, user training, data migration, go-live assistance and on-going maintenance and support. The project will be accomplished in close cooperation with Luka Koper’s outsourcing information technology company, Actual I.T. of Koper.


“As a growing port, it is important to ensure Luka Koper has a comprehensive and fully-supported TOS in place. And while migrating from one system to another can be a daunting undertaking for any organisation, Luka Koper believes that Tideworks will ensure transitioning to a new TOS is efficient and cost-effective,” said Boris Susmak, Head of IT and communications business development of Luka Koper. “We are confident that Tideworks’ suite of solutions will allow us to maximise operational productivity and enhance communication with our customers and partners.”
