The corresponding agreement was signed by representatives of the NUTEP Container Terminal and the Novorossiysk Sports Development Center (ANO “NSDC”).
Yury Matvienko, the CEO of NUTEP Container Terminal, noted that for many years the Group actively supports Russian sports, implementing national and club-level projects and promoting handball in Russia: “Supporting children's, amateur and professional sports is one of the Group's traditional values. It's a long-term investment in healthy lifestyle promotion, an investment in our region's social segments”.
In his turn, Dmitry Braslavsky, the CEO of Novorossiysk Sports Development Center (ANO “NSDC”), outlined the importance of sports events in the region: “Today in the Company's foundation city we can see a positive dynamic in sports development. The foundation of our own Handball Club was a significant moment for Novorossiysk residents. We are grateful to NUTEP Container Terminal and the Delo Group for their comprehensive support. I am sure that our young players will quickly develop their potential”.
One of the key factors is the improvement and refinement of russified functional workstations (radio terminals) on the Android platform for portable pads of personnel on the berth, road and railway freight handling fronts. This software is used by RTG operators, stackers, tallymen and other employees for whose primary and particularly important function is the continuous monitoring of production processes. The requests of users were considered as carefully as possible during the development of this software.
In view of reducing the time for customs control of the containers, a program was developed and implemented and allowed to change the technology of their pre-weighing. The entire procedure used to be carried out manually by a customs inspector. Everything is now done digitally and automatically, including filing, recording contravention, locking/unlocking containers and fixing equipment weight.
Options have been finalized and put into operation so the terminal customers can receive a weighing report from the web portal without having to contact representatives of the vessel's line services.
In addition, line agents can automatically receive digital information about work at NUTEP container terminal berths based on decisions made about moorings - the outlook for berthing, the order and duration of work with vessels, and compliance with berth windows. Solutions have been implemented for border control officers to automatically notify the terminal's customers of the decision on containerized cargo in terms of identifying risks and subsequent referrals for inspection.
Commenting on the development and implementation of the software, Yury Matvienko, the CEO of NUTEP container terminal, said: “On the one hand, we have been following the course of digitalization of all production processes for a very long time. This is not just a trend, but an immediate necessity. Automation of procedures and their digitization allows not only speeding up the processing of cargo traffic, but also avoiding problems of the human factor. On the other hand, in the current difficult conditions it is very important to develop and improve own solutions on the basis of software developed by domestic companies. This will be a guarantee of independence from foreign providers, helping to avoid failures, malfunctions and blockages of critical equipment. In that way, we will still provide a safe, responsive and high-quality service to our customers.”

The sportswomen got a chance to get acquainted with the facilities and see how the containers and grain are handled at the terminals. The CEO of DeloPorts Igor Yakovenko told the team about how the holding had become a leader in the market, about investment projects which the Group had implemented in last 7 years: construction of unique deep-water container and grain berths for ocean-type vessels, purchase of own modern tugboats that are an important part of the uninterrupted work of terminals.
