    1. Container Terminals
    HPT is proud to use the Next Generation Terminal Management System (nGen).

    nGen is a scalable terminal management solution. A part from having a set of basic features for managing overall terminal operations planning, execution, control, management and reporting, nGen is packaged with several intelligence modules that enable continuous improvements in productivity and work processes.
    The nGen Terminal Management System became operational at C1C2 of HLT in October 2007. It was expanded to terminal A2 of TLT and Terminal A3 of HLT in 2008.

    HPT uses nGen to tailor operational requirements:
    - Yard Planning:
    		 to configure different grounding patterns and control of the entire terminal.
    - Yard, Vessel & Rail Operational    Management:
    		 to monitor and control all terminal  operations.
    - Gatehouse Management:
    		 to handle gate movements with seamless customs control integration.
    - Internal Tractor Deployment:
    		 to optimise tractor deployment using pooling and on-the-fly internal tractor assignments.
    - Inventory Management:
    		 to provide flexible inventory searches and updates.
    - Yard Workload Control:
    		 to distribute workloads as well as improve utilisation of RTGCs.
    - Multiple Terminal Operations:
    		 to support cross-terminal marshalling with separate gates and control centres.


    + Local Billing System (HPTBIS)
    HPTBIS : HPT Billing Information System was implemented in 2005. It allows users to prepare invoices and receipts; attached with supportable reports to our cash and credit customers. HPTBIS is also able to capture a variety of operational information from nGen to facilitate the generation of various reports for billing purposes, such as different container services, vessel information and hold/release information. In addition, it also generates all account receivable transactions for our ORACLE Financial System on a daily basis.

    + Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) for real time container tracking
    HPT has implemented Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology through SaviTrak Networks (SAVI) to deliver real-time container location information to terminal end users.
    This proprietary system uses RFID technology to provide shippers, logistics service providers and transportation companies with the ability to electronically monitor in real time the location of a given box along the supply chain from the moment it is sealed with on RFID tag at the point of origin. This new security mapping solution is designed to tie in with Electronic Seal developments that are currently being studied in conjunction with the world’s leading shipping lines.

    + Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)


    The main objective of implementing EDI at HPT is to capitalise on the capabilities of EDI in the transportation industry. EDI helps HPT save a lot of manual work and reducies human error. It uses also enables the delivery of time-sensitive service to our customers.

    HPT use international-standard EDI messages, such as BAPLIE, CODECO, and COARRI. The messages can be exchanged in various mechanisms between business partners in most formats via Electronic Mail, or even by fax if required. Currently, HPT supports:-
    - APERAK (The Application Error and Acknowledgement Message)
    - BAPLIE (The Bayplan/Stowage Plan Occupied and Empty Locations Message)
    - COARRI (The Container Discharge/Loading Report Message)
    - CODECO (The Container Gate-in/Gate-out Report Message)
    - COPARN (Container Announcement Message)
    - COPRAR (Container Loading and Discharge Order Message)
    - COREOR (Container Release Order Message)
    - CUSCAR (Customs Cargo Report Message)
    - IFTSAI (The Forwarding and Transport Schedule and Availability Information Message)
    - MOVINS (The Stowage Instruction Message)

    2. Conventional and Ro-Ro Terminal, (C0 Terminal)
    HPTGCMS
