QMASTOR has been awarded a major contract with Canada’s largest export coal terminal.
In a major coup for the Company, Westshore Terminals (Westshore) has selected QMASTOR to implement QMASTOR’s Port Suite of products including PortVu, iFuse and QMetrics. The Port Suite will provide Westshore with a bulk terminal management system that will form a mission-critical component of the coal export terminal’s operations.
In addition to the revenue implications for QMASTOR, the contract also represents the Company’s first PortVu client deployment outside Australia, which augurs well for future international business development activity for the software.
Functionality provided by the QMASTOR products includes:
  • stockyard and Inventory Management
  • Voyage and Vessel Management
  • Rail and Logistics Planning
  • Equipment, Task    and    Route    Planning
  • Customer and Third Party Web Interfaces
  • Integration to Rail Providers
  • QMetrics KPI and Management Dashboards
 
Westshore was engaged by QMASTOR’s new North American office, and this success further demonstrates QMASTOR’s progress in advancing the Port Suite product portfolio as well as the Company’s global expansion strategy.
QMASTOR Managing Director Trent Bagnall said QMASTOR welcomes the opportunity to partner with Westshore on this breakthrough project.
“Our Port Suite will provide a world class management system to Westshore’s already successful operation,” Bagnall said.
The Westshore site combined with QMASTOR’s other bulk terminal installations at Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal (DBCT – Mackay QLD), Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group (NCIG – Newcastle NSW) and Queensland Bulk Handling (QBH –
Brisbane QLD) gives QMASTOR a major presence in the bulk terminal market.
“Significantly, the Westshore site will also provide a strong reference point for other ports and terminals in North America,” Bagnall added.
