Oakland rolls out web service
SYNCHRONET Marine Inc has launched Phase One of its new web service, aimed at alleviating road and gate congestion at marine
and rail terminals in Oakland.
The SynchroMet system is designed to give visibility to equipment and provide opportunities for collaboration for users
and partners. It is also expected to reduce empty truck miles and diesel emissions effecting the local environment.
The system links users to their segment of an ASP platform, where they can review and select opportunities for mutually beneficial street turns.
Inbound containers can be posted as empty street-turn opportunities and matched in real-time with off-dock equipment needs to
cover export bookings. It also allows users to track street-turned containers by individual unit number and provide confirmation
of a street-turn event to terminal operators and steamship lines.
In addition, SynchroMet provides truckers with a one-stop-shop for information on port and terminal operations, customer service
and contact information with links to steamship line and leasing company web sites. The service can be
accessed at www.synchromet.com.
