Dedicate Computerized

Management System

For Port Terminals

A Marine Terminal Automated

Management System (MTAMS), financed in part by the Maritime

Administration, was dedicated re- cently by MarAd's western region director, Thomas J. Patterson, at the Seventh Street Public Con- tainer Terminal, Port of Oakland,

Calif.

The MTAMS is part of a Mar-

Ad program to encourage the use of automated information and control systems at U.S. public, multi-user marine terminals. The system speeds the collection and dissemination of information and thereby expedites the flow of con- tainerized cargo and equipment through a terminal.

ARINC Research of Annapolis,

Md., in cooperation with the staff of the Marine Terminals Corp., designed the system for the Oak- land facility. MarAd's share of the $925,000 project amounted to approximately $325,000. The Fed- eral agency developed the com- puter application software and documentation, including a cost- benefit analysis. The Port of Oak- land and Marine Terminals Corp., the facility's manager, spent $600,000 for the acquisition of the computer hardware and site preparation activities associated with the installation of the sys- tem.

A report on the project, "Ma- rine Terminal Automated Man- agement Control System for Pub- lic Marine Terminals, Phase I &

II," will be published for distri- bution through the National

Technical Information Service.

The application software and documentation developed by

ARINC Research under contract to MarAd will be made available exclusively to the U.S. port indus- try, with adaptation costs borne by the user.
