ProGYS+: GYS Pilot Testing and Integration to Engage Stakeholders

ProGYS+ is an EPSRC-funded Impact Accelerator Project focusing on ‘Engagement’. Building on the successful outcomes of the Impact Accelerator project for ‘Readiness’, ProGYS, and the H2020 project, PortForward, ProGYS+ aims to engage with representatives from the two customer groups of The Green Yard Scheduler (GYS). These include TERMAVI the operator of the Vigo’s container terminal and the provider of their Terminal Operating System (TOS), in coordination with the Port Authority of Vigo. This overarching aim will be achieved by adjusting and piloting the GYS and its integration with Vigo’s TOS for implementation by TERMAVI. Effective implementation of the GYS at the Port of Vigo will provide strong evidence for engagement and negotiations with the TOS provider regarding a licensing agreement. Furthermore, the positive piloting results at Vigo will support negotiations with other ports using the same TOS to adapt it as an add-on, even if they do not desire integration.
