Solomon Ports (SIPA) has successfully implemented its new Port Terminal Operating System, ‘OCTOPI’ aimed at enhancing its operational efficiency and improve service delivery.
OCTOPI went live after it was launched early this month on 1st of August 2024.
This advanced system marks a significant milestone in the Port’s ongoing efforts to enhance Port operational efficiency and improve service delivery.
The implementation of OCTOPI follows months of rigorous preparation and training.
The training was conducted in collaboration with SIPA staff and key stakeholders, ensuring that all parties were well-equipped to utilize the new system effectively.
The new system is now being used in both Port of Honiara, and Noro.
It is an online (cloud) based Port Terminal Operating System.
Speaking on the launching of the new system, SIPA’s Chief Information Officer and Manager Special Projects Ellison Pade said, Ports is proud to be the first Port in the region to implement and use this system.
Its a modern and latest system designed for medium sized port terminals, which suits us well, he said.
He said Port Operational Efficiency is a necessity and of paramount importance to SIPA, and with this new system will certainly help the Port achieve this.
The new system is also integrated with the major Shipping Line system, and also the financial system used by the Port as well.
The OCTOPI system is designed to optimize Port Terminal Operations by processing container movement in real time and also providing real-time data and analytics, improving the management of cargo and vessels, and reducing turnaround times.
