Speaking on the inauguration of the Data Centre, Shri Sanjay Sethi, Chairman, JNPT said, “It is imperative for Ports to integrate new technology trends and automation into their processes to stay relevant and connected in this digitalized global business environment. But the backbone of these automated services is a robust and efficient Data System network providing real time data-support and enhancing the operational efficiency. Our new Container Terminal Data Centre will also play the same role in our Port modernization and digitalization of services, which will not only benefit the EXIM community but also drive our next phase of transformation.”

The Data Centre has an efficient variable refringent flow (VRF) air conditioning system for the workspace area which will significantly reduce the carbon foot print.
The container tracking data centre is one of the key initiatives underway at JNPT under the ease of doing business as an effort towards making it among the top container ports across the world.
