A remarkable asset turn and operational efficiency improvements have been achieved over the past quarters on the West Africa network with Fixed Berthing Windows being one of the key, high-impactful levers. FBW was first launched mid-2021 at APM Terminals Apapa, then introducing it at West Africa Container Terminal in Onne, Meridian Port Services in Tema and APM Terminals Nouakchott later in 2021/22.Fixed Berthing Windows have been made possible due to a strong collaboration between teams, creative network solutions and focused execution. FBW has enabled a reduction of deployed capacity by 15%, while slightly increasing carrying capacity – thus allowing TEU saved capacity, improved productivity and reduction in the vessel waiting time. In these extraordinary times, capacity is priceless and asset turn improvement is critical for the success of the company strategy.Later this year other terminals on the company’s network are also getting on Fixed Berthing Windows for achieving even greater efficiencies and enhanced collaboration.
