MGM is the name of an extensive project for change, to be launched in 2005 in the container business of A.P. Moller - Maersk. When MGM has been fuliy implemented the entire container business will use the same operational IT systems to handle the shipping process, and MGM will replace existing local procedures and systems. The key words behind MGM are integration, automation, standardisation and globalisation.

The MGM Readiness Team and HIT Team.

MGM Readiness Team The MGM Readiness Team is a central planning and facilitation unit, within the MGM project organisation. The objective of the Readiness Team is to contribute to the overall coordination of the implementation and changes within MGM.

and designed specifically to accom- modate Dalian's deepwater trade at the mouth of the Bohai Sea, the completed facility will occupy 1.12 km2 of land and produce an annual throughput of 3.2 million TEU. As the major gateway to Northeast China, the Port of Dalian has seen continuous growth in container throughput in recent years. It re- corded a throughput increase of 24% in 2003 and growth is esti- mated to exceed 35% in 2004.

Less than two weeks later, on 8 September 2004, APM Terminals and the Xiamen Port Group con- cluded an agreement to form a 50/50 Joint Venture to develop, own and operate the new Xiamen Songyu Container Terminal.

The 0.7 km2 green- field site will soon boast three berths across 1,246 metres of quay and 17 metre water depth along- side capable of handling 2.6 mil- lion TEU annually.

The Port of Xiamen handled 2.3 million TEU last year and has been growing at rates in excess of 30% per annum. The Agreement was signed in Xiamen against the backdrop of the 8th China International Trade and Investment Fair, China's prem- ier annual international trade and investment event chaired by Chinese Vice Premier Madame Wu Yi.
