History


Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Developments include:

  • The Automatic Identification System (AIS) tender procedure is operational.
  • The port has 3 tug boats operating in the harbour.
  • 2 of the tug boats will be equipped with fire fighting foam to improve fire fighting standards within the port.
  • The custom rotation system, a safe and more efficient way for agents  to clear cargo digitally is operational
