PAPERLESS processing will be introduced this year at Port Botany, which the NSW Government says will significantly reduce trucking operator costs and improve productivity.
The Port Road Taskforce this week agreed to move to paperless processing at both terminals in the second half of 2009.
Minister for Ports and Waterways Joe Tripodi supported the move, which was trialled as part of the Port Botany Landside Improvement Strategy.
The Strategy was an initiative designed to reduce truck congestion and turnaround times.
Tripodi says the trial resulted in a 10% improvement in truck turnaround times when compared to manual processing.
He added the move from manual to paperless processing had the potential for tens of thousands of dollars worth of savings for truck operators and their clients each week.
