Ports Authority has called on drivers and customers to do bookings at Solomon Ports before clearing their cargos or containers.
Solomon Ports chief information officer (CIO) and Manager special project Ellison Pade told media during the commissioning of the newly completed Port Terminal Gatehouse Exit last week.
“We have a new system here, and we encourage you to do the booking so your cargos are put aside. By doing so, you just come in, fill in the documents and go straight to pick up the cargo, which is already put aside,” explains Pade.
He said that this will also help with the traffic management and cargo that come in and out of the ports to reduce congestion at the ports, especially cargo and vehicles.
He said that after picking up the containers, drivers or customers can then drive towards the new overhead exit gate for the documentation process.
“The gates are automatics. When the documentation process is completed, wait for the gate to open before you drive out. Just be careful when the documentation process is finished. You wait until we open the gate, then you drive out,” said Pade.
