UAE – August 10, 2014: The leading port management and logistics company Gulftainer today announced that it has selected Nexthink through its partner Anzema to support its ambitious growth targets by enhancing its IT infrastructure.
Gulftainer aims to grow its global footprint to reach 35 terminals across 5 continents and handle 18 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) by 2020.
