Portchain today announced Copenhagen Malmö Port will join the Portchain Connect network. Copenhagen Malmö Port will use Portchain Connect to increase the quality and speed of their berth alignment with customers through digital handshakes and secure data sharing. Portchain is excited to partner with Copenhagen Malmö Port to simplify their communication channels and improve overall berth alignment. Portchain Connect enables Copenhagen Malmö Port to receive real-time schedule and move count updates directly from carrier systems, and enables them to respond and counterpropose quickly, to align the vessel schedule with the terminal berth plan.
Portchain Connect streamlines the flow of schedule data to shorten the time to align the berthing window. The platform allows terminals and carriers to share and receive quality data and reduce delays in information transmission. Portchain Connect provides users with an easy-to-use overview of all their vessel calls and ensures they can securely transfer berthing information, remove the costs associated with manual non-digitised communication, and align on berthing windows to improve schedule reliability.

"We’re pleased to welcome Copenhagen Malmö Port to the Portchain Network. As a key logistics hub connecting Scandinavia with international trade flows, earlier alignment between terminals and carriers supports more predictable and efficient vessel planning."
