2022 Inspire Award Winner: Barbados Port Inc

TOPIC • Carrier & Vessel Solutions (CVS), Terminal Operations (TOS)

 

Barbados Port Inc. won the Innovation Award, standing out for how they drove innovation through collaboration. Leveraging an existing API in their cloud-based Navis TOS, the port built their own in-house notification system to keep port users, partners, and customer up to date on key information in a timely, efficient way using information from their TOS. Looking to technology to further enhance communication, they launched an online accessible portal for customer and state agencies to easily connect about cargo processing and clearance. The paperless process creates interoperability across the various systems these organizations use to process shipments at the port, generating greater efficiency, a reduction in operating costs, and a more sustainable approach to managing operations.
