The Vitality of Safe Cargo Handling for A Terminal Operator

Every terminal operator dream is to have a safe and secured cargo handling operation in their terminal. Whether it’s a bulk terminal or container terminal, the success of this deliberate effort yields satisfaction to both the Terminal Operator, it’s Customers (freight forwarders) and even the Workforce.

JPS, is a leading Terminal Operator with over 15years experience in providing excellent port services with safe and secured cargo handling as its trademark.

Asides the constantly trained dedicated team of experts, JPS has various machineries and heavy-duty equipment to ensure a safe and secured cargo handling. Some of the equipment include the forklifts, mafis, tug masters etc.

JPS deals mainly with bulk cargo (dry, wet & steel) examples wheat, sugar, malt, iron rod, paper reels etc which is discharged via grasping or sucking and lifting then delivered directly to customers with their haulage trucks on standby or indirectly via the stacking area or 8,774msq covered warehouse. Either-way cargoes remain safe and secured at the terminal until received by the clearing agents/consignees.

As a leading Terminal Operator, the need to enhance a safe and secured cargo handling operation cannot be overemphasized. For this reason, a lot of developmental interventions have been put in-place such as the 24hours cctv monitoring system, security guards, tower lights, HSE department and off-course a port clinic.  The security guards man the terminal perimeter fence lines while the cctv projects from the main gate, the entire terminal far off the berthing area. The tower lights are light up at night allowing for a more safe and secured cargo handling operation. The HSE team mainly monitors compliance to safety rules and regulations, conducts risks assessment and provides and ensures the usage of PPE’s by teams undergoing operations. The clinic provides 1^st aid treatment to injuries of illness that may occur in the work premises to ensure safety first at all times, with an ambulance in place such affected staff can then be rushed to a hospital in good time for proper health care.

Among the Operations team which is the hub of the business, the tally team remains on-top of their game to ensure customers cargoes remain safe and secured. This is ensured by proper record taking of cargoes, proper categorization and storage of cargoes giving little or no room for cargo mismatch or damage

At the end of the day customers smile home with their safe and secured cargoes delivered by the Terminal Operator because Josepdam is specialized in providing excellent port services to all our customers through continuous improvement and compliance to all relevant Legal and International standards.
