“The depot has a
full-equipped container repair workshop…”
In 1986 the AET Container Terminal was opened for the storage of empty and full
containers. The 125,000 sq. metre, purpose-built depot, constructed to full international
standards and located in close proximity to the Jeddah Islamic Port, gives container line
operators a secure site to store and repair their boxes. Well-trained operations staff,
backed by a Lloyds-approved repair squad, operate the terminal on a 24 hour basis.
The Terminal’s security staff, assisted by computerized control
and reporting system, ensure container are properly checked and tracked whilst they are in
AET’s care. The fully-equipped container repair workshop, offering repairs to
I.I.C.L. standard IV together with up-to-date container washing and cleaning facilities,
means that box operators are confident that their containers leave Jeddah ready for
immediate re-use anywhere in the world. A cross section of container operators regularly
use the AET Container Terminal to manage the care of their containers in Saudi Arabia.
For major shipping lines the terminal developed and introduced online interactive
traveling system which enables major news to access the container control system at will
for up to the minute contains control system station. This service can be updated to
interface with any computer generated control system. |
