Monsoon lightning froze Northport gate barriers

Unmanaged switches failed in a surge. Gates locked down and hauliers queued for kilometres.

What it cost
RM 68,000

What happened

Lightning destroyed unmanaged switches. Automated gates froze.

What it cost

Port obstruction fines plus haulier detention claims — about RM 68,000.

What we did

We used surge-protected managed switching and a local gate database so barriers can still operate when the upstream network is down.

After that

Gates are not fully dependent on a single unprotected switch during monsoon surges.

The company name is withheld.
