APM Terminals

With young people being celebrated globally as part of the United Nations World Youth Skills Day, APM Terminals is adding its voice – and resources – to the development of the next generation and to the emerging talents of tomorrow’s professionals. While APM Terminals provide many scholarship opportunities globally, and create training and development opportunities for many communities, it’s the individual stories that touch us the most. When APM Terminals Liberia announced it would provide scholarship funds to 120 students from six primary and secondary schools within Districts 13 and 14 of Montserrado County, it made many more than the students themselves happy. The activation, the fourth scholarship scheme organized by the terminal, wasn’t a ‘one-off’ gift. It was an investment in the future of entire communities, and it came from the heart. Just as all the work we do in the countries in which we operate are investments in progress, growth and toward improving lives for all. At the official presentation of scholarships last month, Saidu Kawah, a 6th Grader and a scholarship recipient said: “I am so happy to be a beneficiary of the APM Terminals Liberia scholarship because it will help me achieve my goals. I want to become a Medical Doctor so that I can help sick people feel better. With this scholarship, I will be able to stay in school and learn all the things I need to know to reach my dream. It makes me feel happy and confident to know that people believe in me and want to help me succeed.” This event brought together the APM Terminals Liberia team, scholarship students, parents, school administrators, and representatives from both districts in the vicinity of the Monrovia terminal. It was proof – and only one example – of our belief in the transformative power of education and our commitment to lift the standards of responsibility in our host nations. Our teams are proud to support the academic endeavors of brilliant young minds. #EducationForAll #CommunityEngagement #wysd #CorporateSustainability #APMTerminalsLiberia #ScholarshipProgramClay

When it comes to lifting the standard of efficiency for our customers, our only limit is safety. We constantly push innovation standards forward, as witnessed by the outstanding achievement at APM Terminals Lazaro Cardenas where a multidisciplinary team has mastered the quad lift – the only terminal in Mexico to achieve the impressive, time and energy-saving feat.

The well-being of marine life and ocean sustainability are directly linked to the health and efficiency of port operations. As a company, we seek to lift the standards of responsibility for our environment and to support and protect our neighbouring communities. Organisations that share our values get a firm ‘seal of approval’ from us, like the The Marine Mammal Care Center (MMCC) near to our Los Angeles Pier 400 terminal in the US. Dedicated to conservation, education, research and animal rescue, the MMCC has helped 10,000 flippered friends since 1992. Patients like Elmer, who was found separated from his mother, severely dehydrated and in dire need of help. Unlike the majority of MMCC patients, Elmer has not been released to open waters as he developed bilateral cataracts, rendering him blind and unable to fend for himself. But thanks to the MMCC, he was matched with two other blind sealions, with whom he has bonded and shares a permanent home with love and care 24/7. It’s a heart-lifting story, and it’s one which touches on our own heartfelt efforts to lift the standards of responsibility in our terminals and in our communities. As Jon Poelma, Managing Director of APM Terminals Los Angeles says: “Our ambition is to be the most environmentally responsible and sustainable container terminal operator on the US West Coast. “By protecting marine life, we help ensure the long-term health of our oceans, which in turn supports the maritime industry and coastal economies,” he added, announcing the $75,000 donation.

Gateway Terminals India (GTI) has made the transition to become a renewable energy-powered container terminal. Last week the terminal, also known as APM Terminals Mumbai, switched to 80% renewable electricity with the commissioning of a new captive solar power plant. As well as raising the standards of environmental responsibility, the transition will lead to a 41% reduction in carbon emission per year. https://bit.ly/3S1XoTa #GatewayTerminalsIndia #GTI #JNPA #JNPort #Decarbonisation #EnergyTransition

Inspired by his passion for Formula One, Ricardo Alvarado Ruiz, supervisor at APM Terminals Moin, Costa Rica, was convinced he could lift standards of efficiency and reduce the 40 minutes taken to carry out empty reefer inspections and serve our customers faster. By fine-tuning the process and creating a drive-in drive-out express inspection lane, he and his teammates brought the time down to a mere four minutes.  The Lean principles that led to this winning example are followed at all APM Terminals locations.  Read more about the story here: https://bit.ly/3XNX8uG

As one of our talented gantry crane operators, Walter Ramirez knows a thing or two about lifting the standards of efficiency and reliability, while prioritising safety at APM Terminals Quetzal, Guatemala. Working his way up in more ways than one, he has the privilege of seeing the terminal from its fullest height, right down to the busy tarmac and he's come to appreciate the particular beauty to be found when a glint of light streams onto polished metal, or a perfect sunrise touches only the earliest of shift workers' protective helmets. During his career with us Walter has turned his hand and trained his eye not only on the careful manipulation of cranes and machinery, but to photography – a hobby that has remained a passion for many years. We know this about Walter because he is one of the contributors to our Instagram account (https://lnkd.in/dvTszvT), and because he is the winner of a recent photography competition for colleagues. In his winning image, he captured the terminal he knows so well after a heavy rainstorm. As he describes it, when the storm subsided, moonlight glinted through a cloud, making the terminal glow. “It was really magical, peaceful and the twinkling lights made our work place look like a scene from a Disney movie,” he says. That moment, captured by Walter, shows off the elegance of our steely blue assets against the night sky, and it resonates with the steely determination with which we operate day and night to delight our customers, and lift the standard of responsibility. Thanks to our people. People like Walter.
