The project represents Tideworks' first deployment of its container terminal solutions in Asia.
Operated by a joint venture between Saigon Port, SSA International Holdings-Vietnam and Vinalines, the new terminal is scheduled to open in July 2011.
Designed with an annual capacity of 1.2 million TEU, SSIT will play a critical role in shifting container volumes from the existing ports in Ho Chi Minh City to less congested, deep water container terminals.
SSIT will implement Tideworks' comprehensive suite of container terminal management software including Mainsail Terminal Management System, Spinnaker Planning Management System, Traffic Control, Forecast and Digital Bridge.
The terminal will also leverage Tideworks' interactive web tools to provide real-time access to key cargo information and operations data.
Tideworks will provide complete systems integration services, ensuring its solutions interface with the local customs authority, as well as interfacing with SSIT's accounting system and complying with existing steamship line customers' EDI standards.
