Dear Clients,
With the EU and UK having reached an agreement in principle on how to implement the Northern Ireland Protocol, see following Eucon Brexit Update advising on the last preparations at Eucon for Brexit to include;
Please take note of the following Eucon Circulation regarding the updated situation with Covid-19 Level 5 restrictions which were introduced in Ireland from 22nd October for 6 week period.
Eucon are please to announce that DFT accepted the delivery of 2 new RTG’s over the last couple of days. The units were delivered fully assembled from the Cosco Shipping M/v DA JI. This brings the total number of RTG’s to 12 at DFT of which 4 are new electric remote control semi-automated.
This vessel also has 3 RTG’s on board which will commence off loading at BCT in Belfast today and bring the total number of RTG’s in the new development there to 8.
Please see link below to circular from Dublin Ferry Port terminals regarding further roll out of the DFT App.
Please see attached notice with regards to dwell time at our terminals in Dublin (DFT) and Belfast (BCT). During the current Corona Virus outbreak it is vital that import containers are picked up within the allowed free period and export shipments are only booked on nominated vessels within the free period.
Please take note of information in the following circulars relating to Covid-19;
Eucon are pleased to relay the following information as received from Port of Cork with regard to the roll out of container terminal Vehicle Booking System for hauliers.
Port of Cork (POC) inform us that the recently released Vehicle Booking System (VBS) APP will make drivers’ visit to the terminal faster and more efficient, using the APP means the driver only requires a single TAR to gain entry for collections and deliveries.
POC are encouraged to see that the majority of the hauliers calling at the terminal are now using mobile app. This helps them to remove/sort all the potential problems in advance.
Using POC VBS for advance bookings gives the Port, the Customer and the Haulage Company 100% accuracy at the terminal, therefore reducing delays at the gate due to inaccurate data.
The VBS allows the terminal to manage a sustained level of gate throughput during the day, this in turn will improve gate and terminal transactions for drivers.
The timeframe shows gradual implementation over the Summer months and POC should be ready for the full VBS roll out by September 2nd 2019. Please be assured that POC will work and support all haulage companies during the implementation period and operation, please feel free to contact POC directly if you require assistance. As with all new systems, some minor issues will exist in the early stages, we hope you will work with the terminal while they try to tailor the best solution for both the drivers and the terminal.
