Iarnród Éireann (IÉ) is the publicly owned rail transport company of Ireland with responsibility for the upkeep and development of the national rail network along with the provision of rail passenger, freight services and the management of Rosslare Europort. A strategic review of Rosslare Europort prepared towards the end of 2018, recommended investment in customer facilities, port infrastructure, assets and new technology. The Port is targeting growth and new business opportunities with a positive outlook for the future.
Terminal operations in Rosslare Europort are currently managed on a manual/paper-based system which is out-dated and leads to operational inefficiencies. The review recommended the implementation of an IT Terminal Management System to transform from a manual run port to Ireland's leading smart port. IE require a complete turnkey solution which includes maintenance and licencing agreements. In line with this, IE are seeking to define the requirements for such a system in order to go to market with a tender proposal to procure a Port Terminal management System to assist with the digitization of the Port.
