The Digital Transformation of Alport Conakry: A Journey of Innovation and Efficiency with GullsEye

With the implementation of GullsEye’s Gen2 Terminal Operating System, Alport Conakry has achieved significant milestones in operational efficiency and resource utilization. This remarkable transformation was recently featured in World Cargo News, highlighting the terminal’s success and the role of digitalization in revolutionizing port operations.

Key Achievements

– Reduced Vessel Unloading Times: From 45 days to just 13 days.
– 24/7 Terminal Operations: Round-the-clock services enhance productivity and accessibility.
– Real-Time Management: Advanced reporting tools enable efficient monitoring and decision-making.

Transforming a Critical Logistics Hub
Located in Guinea, West Africa, Alport Conakry serves as a vital general cargo terminal, handling dry bulk, liquids, project cargo, and general cargo while providing marine services like pilotage and towage. Operated by Conakry Port S.A., a subsidiary of Türkiye’s Albayrak Group, the terminal has a current throughput of 5 million tons annually, with a capacity of 10 million tons.

Since taking over operations in 2018, Albayrak Group has significantly invested in infrastructure, new equipment, and digital transformation, including the adoption of GullsEye’s Gen2 Expert TOS in 2021. This transformation has not only improved operational processes but also positioned Alport Conakry as a model for efficiency and innovation in the region.

How GullsEye’s TOS Drives Change

The Gen2 TOS enables Alport Conakry to:
– Plan and manage terminal operations in real-time.
– Identify and address bottlenecks effectively.
– Utilize 3D virtual terminal yard views for enhanced visibility.
– Provide localized adaptability with a French-language interface.

These advancements have streamlined procedures, improved coordination among stakeholders, and led to notable cost savings. The introduction of a customer web portal, a truck appointment system, and compliance with customs requirements further supports the terminal’s seamless operations.

A Commitment to Continuous Support

GullsEye emphasizes that true partnerships begin after the TOS implementation. Through regular performance reviews, configuration adjustments, and 24/7 customer support, the company ensures that Alport Conakry maximizes the value of its TOS.

Recognition for Excellence

The success of this partnership was recognized on a global scale at the Global Smart Ports Summit in Hamburg, where Alport Conakry received the prestigious “Best Smart Terminal Award” in 2023.

Looking Ahead

At GullsEye, we are proud to be part of Alport Conakry’s remarkable progress, showcasing how innovation and collaboration can redefine port operations and drive excellence in the logistics industry.
