Port of Miami Terminal Operating Company, L.C., (POMTOC) is the Port of Miami’s only private terminal operator serving the shipping community since 1995 by providing a broad mix of essential services to the global shipping industry. In the past 10 years we have averaged over 10% growth per year in our terminal. We expect this unprecedented growth to continue due to the increase in Far East containerized cargo moving through the Panama and Suez canals to East Coast Ports. In addition our trade with Latin America and the Caribbean is forecasted to increase by an additional 5%. POMTOC is investing in developing a new state of the art Terminal Gate System. Our new 16 lane Gate Complex will be able to process 3,200 gate transactions per day which will double our capacity.
Our investment in leading edge software and terminal operations technology was a major step towards maximizing the efficiency of POMTOC. Our customers through our Terminal Operating System (TOS) have complete visibility of containers moving through our gates, yard and to/from vessels. Our TOS also allows importers, exporters, brokers, forwarders and truckers to have immediate online access with real time information on container availability, bookings, demurrage charges, online payments, truckers’ interchanges and gate activities.
We, at POMTOC believe that the volume of containers moving through the Port of Miami will continue to increase because of our trade with China, Central and South America.
