New Truck Appointment System (TAS) to streamline container pick-up/drop-off experience at APM Terminals Bahrain

In early June 2023, APM Terminals Bahrain will roll-out a dedicated service for container pick-up and drop-off. The Truck Appointment System (TAS) will bring numerous benefits for both Truckers and Consignees.

TAS will be fully integrated on www.apmterminals.com with a single account giving you access to all online tools such as our Saved Container Watchlist, Email Container Notifications and Terminal Alerts. The website is optimized for use on all devices, including smartphones, therefore no separate App is required.

TAS will deliver a range of benefits for customers, such as spreading appointments evenly throughout the day reducing gate queues and improving truck turn times. This will free up time for truckers to make additional trips, reducing costs and increasing customer revenues.

A more even distribution of traffic will also lead to a safer and more efficient trucker experience due to better traffic flow and less congestion in the yard.

Transaction slips will be digitally connected to the truck appointment, which will speed up entry into the terminal and eliminate the chance of a loading slip being rejected. With an appointment, loading is guaranteed.

Improved visibility of peak timings at the terminal and a clear overview of gate move activity expected for the next day also allows us to plan equipment and manpower to better service the trucking community.

Take a look at our dedicated TAS page (www.apmterminals.com/Bahrain) for more information about how the Truck Appointment System will work. Closer to roll-out, APM Terminals Bahrain will be holding training sessions to help customers become familiar with TAS and answer any questions.
