BPA held a presentation for customers and began test operation

Real time container location can be traced by ‘Busan Port Logistics Information System (BPA-NET).’

Busan Port Authority (BPA) recently completed the development of ‘Busan Port Logistics Information System (BPA-NET)’, which provides customized service by integrating port logistics information from container terminals, related organizations and industries, and started its operation.

BPA-NET enables shipping companies, consignors, and transport companies to trace container locations in real time over the Internet and on their mobile device. Hence, they can not only save time and cost, but also find out vessel entry and departure, promptly and precisely.

In addition, drivers can check the traffic conditions to avoid road congestion, and transport companies can increase vehicle turnover ratios. Besides, stevedoring companies can operate in/outbound cargo effectively.
BPA-NET is available at www.bpa-net.com and m.bpa-net.com for mobile devices.

BPA invited 100 employees from shipping companies to the presentation and introduced BPA-NET at the main auditorium in Jung-gu Busan on December 19th. BPA will promote its service to more consignors and transport companies in January.

BPA plans to continuously improve its information service, focusing on Busan Port operation code standardization and mobile personal service enhancements.

BPA president Ki-tack Lim said, “BPA-NET accords with the Government 3.0 (public information open, share, communication and cooperation campaign), and we expect to achieve fruitful results in raising the competitiveness of Busan Port through rapid port administrative process and logistics control.”
