In the pursuit of decarbonization, digitalization partners are essential to enable efficiency in berth alignment, just-in-time arrival of vessels and general port efficiency. Today the berth alignment process is largely orchestrated manually with limited digital tooling.
The status quo limits visibility, the ability to anticipate delays and reduces resilience in the face of operational challenges. By digitizing the berth alignment process, carriers and terminals can gain visibility, open a new digital channel that fosters collaboration and inherit a standardized dataset for performance management.
A berth alignment platform, like Portchain Connect, optimizes port call scheduling, significantly reducing idle times and streamlining vessel arrivals.
This results in substantial fuel savings and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, aligning seamlessly with the industry’s decarbonization objectives.
Similar to a digital platform, the industry requires purpose-built berth planning software. Adoption of digital berth planning software will optimize resource allocation for quay, crane and labor to reduce turnaround times and enhance port efficiency.
Portchain offers a digital berth planning tool called Portchain Quay. By providing an easy-to-use interface and utilizing data analytics, it ensures the efficient deployment of resources for each vessel call.
Once more, operational and environmental benefits come together. Efficient berth planning inherently contributes to lower environmental footprints, thus advancing decarbonization goals.
We collaborate with the industry to reshape berth alignment and generate tangible results in emissions reduction and just-in-time arrivals.
