Tideworks, a provider of terminal operating (TOS) systems, has announced that the South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) has implemented and gone live with its graphical planning solution.
‘Spinnaker’, which will support planning operations at the Port of Charleston’s Wando Welch and North Charleston terminals, is expected to increase the efficiency of container handling as cargo volumes increase, as well as reducing turn times and enhancing productivity.
This go-live is the first phase of the Port of Charleston project and the second implementation of Tideworks’ TOS solutions within SCPA’s network of terminal facilities, following the introduction of Tideworks’ Intermodal Pro system to Inland Port Dillon.

As part of the Charleston project’s first phase, all stevedores in the port complex have access to the system’s platform, boosting process visibility.
The second phase of the project will begin later in 2019 and includes the implementation of a range of Tideworks solutions, such as TOS Mainsail, Traffic Control, the Terminal View 3D data visualization system and Tideworks Insight.
