As the largest marine terminal in the US, APM Terminals moves a significant amount of cargo every day. Safety and operational excellence are at the heart of its mission, but managing contractor compliance and visibility across such a large, high-stakes environment presented significant challenges.
Without a system to evaluate contractors from a risk-based perspective, it was difficult to identify potential gaps and ensure the highest levels of safety assurance.
To address this, APM Terminals partnered with Avetta to transform the way it manages its contractor network. By adopting Avetta’s platform, the company gained a new level of insight into its contractors that was previously unavailable. The shift allowed the team to proactively monitor compliance, strengthen oversight, and evaluate contractors based on risk rather than simply documentation status.
The benefits were immediate and far-reaching. APM Terminals now has the visibility it needs to identify contractors with higher risk profiles and apply the appropriate controls to safeguard operations. The partnership has enabled the company to reinforce its culture of safety and ensure its contractor workforce consistently meets the highest compliance standards. With Avetta as a partner, APM Terminals continues to fulfill its strong commitment to safety assurance while maintaining efficient, reliable cargo operations.
APM Terminals is the largest marine terminal operator in the United States, handling a significant volume of cargo daily. With a focus on safety and efficiency, APM Terminals operates state-of-the-art facilities that serve as critical nodes in global supply chains.
