DELIVERY OF SECOND BERTH AT CONTAINER TERMINAL
9 (SOUTH)
Modern Terminals has recently taken delivery of
its second berth at Container Terminal 9 (South).
A quay length of 700 m and an area of 30 ha are
now available for operations. The remaining 2
berths at CT9 (S) will be completed in the coming
few months.
BETTER COMPUTING PERFORMANCE, RELIABILITY &
CAPABILITY
The Modern Terminals Operations
System (MOS) Platform Migration Project was fully
implemented on 28 January 2004. MOS is the mission-critical
system that supports our terminal operations by
providing high reliability and resilience level
to our customers.
| With the completion of
the project, MOS and Tariff Billing Interface
(TBI) transactions turn around time is respectively
shortened by 65% and 80% in average. Backup
job of our MOS is now 23 times faster. Day-end
job of our TBI System is 12 times faster.
The successful migration also gives us 99.99%
system availability and the capacity to handle
a 60 percent increase in Modern Terminals¡¦
future information processing requirements.
These together better equip us to deliver
the computing performance, capability and
flexibility needed to match our business requirements
in the future. |

MODERN CHARITY WALK
A cheque in the sum of HK$220,000
was present to Sowers Action, a registered charity
in Hong Kong in this January. The money, which
was raised by Modern Terminals colleagues during
the Modern Charity Walk held in late November
last year, will go towards rebuilding a school
for underprivileged children in rural China. The
school will be named as ¡§Sanjiao Hamlet Xiandai
Huoxiang Matou (Modern Terminals) SA-PH Primary
School¡¨. In addition, Modern Terminals sponsored
the visits of Sowers Action¡¦s volunteers to Yunan
for supervising the project progress.
