About us

This is us
This is Portchain

Portchain was founded by three McKinsey project managers who saw the inefficiencies in how container carriers and terminals planned and aligned operations using spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls. They envisioned a digitized information-sharing system that could transform the industry, enabling Just-In-Time operations, and significantly boosting productivity while reducing emissions. By combining intuitive UX design with advanced analytics and cutting-edge web technologies, Portchain enhances operational performance for shipping companies. Our mission is to make shipping more predictable, efficient and green.
