Copenhagen, Denmark, 15 January 2026 — Portchain today announced that Klaipeda Container Terminal has joined the Portchain Connect network.
Klaipeda Container Terminal 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 Klaipeda Container Terminal to simplify their communication channels and improve overall berth alignment. Portchain Connect enables Klaipeda Container Terminal 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.
“Digital collaboration is a key pillar of our long-term strategy. By joining Portchain Connect, we are investing in smarter, data-driven berth planning that enhances transparency, supports stronger partnerships with carriers, and creates lasting efficiency gains across our terminal operations”,
- says Vaidotas Šileika, CEO at Klaipeda Container Terminal.
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.
