EDS started this B2B effort in 1994- Oracle and HPH just funded another $100 million for the following JV: HUTCHISON PORTS GLOBAL NETWORK HPH is an independent port investor, operating 120 berths in 18 ports around the world. From this network, the company had a large customer data base to tap in the set up of its e-transportation business. ``In the first year, we (GTX) will have six to eight offices around the world in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, San Francisco, New York, London and Kaohsiung,' portsnportal.com chief executive officer Eric Mak told the briefing. The portsnportals.com site also will offer Arena.com, which Hutchison's Hongkong International Terminals container unit helped start in 1994 along with Electronic Data Systems Corp (NYSE:EDS - news). Arena.com allows members to electronically conduct every step of global business in the trade-finance transport sequence. ``Everyone involved in the maritime, ports, transport or logistics industries will now know they need only visit the portsnportals.com site and they can link to the e-commerce service product they need,' Meredith said, Other services offered through the site include Maritime Cargo Processing Plc (MCP), which is owned by a cross section of the Felixstowe transportation community and manages and markets the Felixstowe Cargo Processing System (FCPS), the most advanced system for the exchange of UK Trade and logistics information. Hutchison hopes to develop a similar site for its China trade and shipping operations, Meredith said.
