Port of Haifa to Replace Its 20-Year-Old Terminal Operating System With Navis™ SPARCS N4

Zebra Enterprise Solutions, a division of Zebra Technologies (Nasdaq:ZBRA), announced today that the Haifa Port Company Ltd. in Israel will support its expected growth by replacing the company’s 20-year-old container management system with Navis™ SPARCS N4, the industry’s leading and most advanced terminal operating system (TOS).

The Port of Haifa, which sits on the shores of the Bay of Haifa on northern Israel’s coast in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, will implement SPARCS N4 during the second half of 2010. The port’s container terminals include the Western, Eastern, Carmel and Kishon terminals. The Carmel Container Terminal is currently being used only as a storage area, but will be fully used as the Port’s newest and most advanced container terminal in 2010.

"We were impressed by SPARCS N4’s richness of functionality, advanced planning modules and the simplicity of using the system by the end user,” said Uri Regev, the port’s Chief Information Officer. "We were also impressed by the high level professional staff of Zebra Enterprise Solutions and by the very unique methodology utilized for analysis of our requirements. We were equally impressed with the R&D roadmap planning and how Zebra Enterprise Solutions is adaptive to the needs of its customers. This issue was very important to us.”

The Port of Haifa, which is the main gate for Israeli trade, was established in 1933 and expanded substantially since then, to become the largest container handling port in Israel, serving the major industries in this country.

In 2008, three of the Haifa port terminals – Eastern, Western and Kishon - showed total throughput of 1.25 million TEU’s. The Port of Haifa is expected to increase to 2.5 million TEU’s in the coming years, after the Carmel new container terminal is fully operational, Regev said.

To help manage the expected growth, Port of Haifa will rely on the web-based SPARCS N4 operating system to govern the movement of all container logistics and operations from gate to yard and to vessel. SPARCS N4 will offer Port of Haifa improved customer support, increased stacking yard capacity and greater control over resources.

"The benefits of SPARCS N4 are very clear. We expect to have better control on the container management, improved productivity, and better services to our customers,” Regev said. "We want to be more accessible and transparent to our customers, allowing them to interact with our IT systems. We’re confident that SPARCS N4 will help us to meet our vision of future growth.”

Bill Walsh, General Manager at Zebra Enterprise Solutions, said SPARCS N4 will give the Port of Haifa the competitive advantage it needs.

"Our software will enable the Port of Haifa to optimize data capturing, reporting, and performance visibility which will promote rapid movement of cargo,” Walsh said. "In challenging times like these, our software will help the Port of Haifa simplify its working environment, deploy resources better, and boost client, partner and workforce efficiency by implementing industry best practices.”
