APM Terminals Elizabeth was honored as terminal of the year

The APM Terminals-owned Port Elizabeth in the Port of New York and New Jersey (NYNJ) was awarded as the terminal of the year and received the 2021 William F. Fallon, Jr. Memorial Award by the President and Owner Best Transportation and Chairman of the Association of Bi-State Motor Carriers, Tom Heimgartner.

The award is named for Bill Fallon – a respected Port Authority of New York and New Jersey executive who perished at age 53 while helping others evacuate the Port Authority offices on the 62nd floor in One World Trade Center on 11 September 2001.

Jon Poelma, Managing Director of APM Terminals Elizabeth who received the award, stated, “We’re very pleased with this recognition reflecting the success of our US$200 million infrastructure investment and our professional labour and colleagues who define our service level every day.”

APM Terminals Elizabeth has recently completed an infrastructure upgrade including new ship-to-shore cranes, modernised Information technology (IT) systems and new truck gates, in order to improve capacity, productivity and customer experience, according to a statement.

In addition, the terminal of NYNJ Port that handles over 5,000 truck gate activities daily has rolled out artificial intelligence (AI) to trigger a notification to the safety team on the terminal to respond to the trucker location when a trucker steps out of the truck.

APM Terminals Elizabeth has also launched an appointment visibility app as well as a mandatory driver induction app to ensure driver safety awareness policies on the terminal.
