It allows forward planning so that all necessary resources are prepared and optimised, ensuring trains are unloaded as quickly as possible. On-port rail operations have improved as a result, and 50-wagon trains can be routinely unloaded in about 9 hours using two rail wagon excavators.permanência e movimentando a carga mais rapidamente – significa que o porto consegue aumentar rapidamente os volumes e receber navios maiores e novas commodities.This has become increasingly important as larger vessels are becoming a common sight at the port. MPDC views this is an opportunity. Faster loading and unloading – reducing dwell time and rotating cargo faster – means the port can quickly grow volumes and welcome larger vessels and new commodities.“A automação não só melhora a eficiência operacional em si, mas também apresenta a oportunidade de uma melhoria contínua”, nota Marla Calado, Directora de Operações da MPDC. “À medida que a tecnologia se desenvolve poderemos identificar onde podemos encontrar novas eficiências em tempo real. Tal significa que sempre seremos capazes de optimizar ainda mais a produtividade.”“Digitisation not only improves operational efficiency in itself but also presents the opportunity to keep on improving,” notes Marla Calado, MPDC Chief Operations Officer. “As the technology develops, we will be able to identify where we can find new efficiencies in real-time. It means we will always be able to further optimise productivity.”O próximo processo a ser informatizado é a manutenção de equipamentos. Embora a maioria dos projectos de informatização sejam desenhados internamente pela MPDC, o programa de manutenção será terceirizado devido à sua complexidade. nThe next process due for digitisation is equipment maintenance. Although most digitisation projects are handled in-house by MPDC, the maintenance programme will be outsourced due to its complexity. nTo ease traffic peaks and troughs within a calendar month – berth occupancy can be as high as 95% – MPDC offers incentives to shipping lines to utilise the quieter periods and so spread the workload. A Vessel Arrival Notification (VAN) system lets the port know exactly when vessels will dock.PORT OF MAPUTO HANDBOOK & DIRECTORY 2023 | 2024 37
