SAVI NETWORKS INKS ROTTERDAM PORT DEAL
MOUNTAIN VIEW – 02/11/07 – Savi Networks has extended its trademarked real-time information technology program to several the Europe Container Terminal and several other key container handling facilities at the Port of Rotterdam, Europe's largest port and distribution hub.

The company’s primary product – known as SaviTrak – enables terminal operators to securely track and manage shipments throughout the company’s global information network in real time.
The move into Rotterdam follows on the heels of the company’s initializing operations at the Trinity Terminal at the UK’s Port of Felixstowe. The facility is the country’s busiest container terminal.
Last month, Savi Network’s extended its operations to the Port of Busan, South Korea and last fall deployed its cargo tracking and security network at the Virginia Port Authority’s Norfolk International, Newport News Marine, and Portsmouth Marine Container Terminals.
Earlier last year, the company inked an agreement with the Trans-Pacific Container Service Corp. (TraPac) to provide its real-time, supply-chain information services to client shipping lines using TraPac’s terminal facilities at the ports of Los Angeles and Oakland, and Jacksonville, Florida.
TraPac provides stevedoring services as the US terminal operating subsidiary of Tokyo-based Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL).
The company’s three terminals in the US handle more than one million containers annually.
