Port of Lake Charles moves to new digital platform

The Port of Lake Charles in Louisiana, US, has agreed a deal to implement software systems from Harbour Mastery to simplify its port, terminal, and multimodal operations.

The 10th busiest port district in the United States, the Port of Lake Charles is a major liquified natural gas (LNG) export hub and oversees an operational area that includes the Calcasieu Ship Channel, an inland waterway that extends into the Gulf of Mexico (or ‘Gulf of America’ according to President Trump) and serves as a breakbulk, specialty, and project cargo gateway.

The port will deploy the i-Seaports SuiteApp from maritime enterprise resource planning (ERP) provider Harbour Mastery to gain real-time visibility across operations and promote collaboration among port stakeholders, including administrators, employees, customers, vendors, and partners.

“We’re honoured to help the Port of Lake Charles, a cornerstone of the global supply chain and energy sector,” said George Walters, CEO, Harbour Mastery.

“By combining Harbour Mastery’s maritime expertise and functionality, and NetSuite’s integrated cloud business system, the port will be able to achieve new levels of efficiency and innovation – helping to set the stage for a smarter, more agile future.”
