Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Together Jacintoport and Seaboard Marine are proposing to install a new terminal operating system (TOS).
This will enable both entities to significantly reduce the per truck idling time at the gates by a minimum of 10 minutes, which in turn will reduce truck congestion within the port and related roads leading into the ports.
The TOS system will also improve the efficiency with the trucks picking up or dropping off containers in the yard as well as increasing the efficiency of yard equipment, reducing operating time.
All these efficiencies coupled with reduced idling time at the gates will result in a significant reduction of the amount of carbon emission and air and water pollutants that would affect their respective ports and the related waters and surrounding communities.
