  performance of the container terminal ,included
  Information Technology system( IT) .
• 2. Involvement of the private
  sector with regard to all operative activities in
  the port.
• 3.Re-structiring the Sudanese
  ports.

  S.P.C authority has authorized HPC to implement
  a re-structuring program to establish a (LANDLORD
  AUTHORITY) and a privatization program. At the
  same time there is a program for the development
  of the operational performances and efficiency of
  the container terminal by management contract
  services.
