Verso 12 Rugged Computer

JLT delivers mobile computers to Basra terminal

BASRA, Iraq, October 26, 2016

Sweden-based JLT Mobile Computers, a leader in computers for demanding environments, has delivered a total of 50 JLT Verso 12 mobile computers to the Basra Gateway Terminal (BGT).

BGT, which is operated by leading terminal operator International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI), is Iraq’s premier container and multi-purpose cargo handling facility at the port of Umm Qasr. BGT recently opened an extension to its facility with the first container lifted by one of two new ship-to-shore cranes during the opening ceremony.

“Basra Gateway Terminal has one of the harshest operating environments for a port terminal in the world,” says Sebastiano Cerneka, ICTSI’s Head of IT for Europe and the Middle East.

“This summer, we recorded a temperature of 53°C, the hottest in the Western Hemisphere. During that time the JLT Verso 12 computers, which are not used in air conditioned environments, kept working. Being able to rely on JLT’s Verso 12 rugged mobile computers means we can continue to meet the needs of shipping lines and cargo shippers despite the extreme weather and temperatures we experience as a matter of course.” – TradeArabia News Service
