25 February 2025 – Portchain celebrates the first year of its collaboration with Ocean Network Express (ONE) to digitalize ONE’s berth alignment process with terminals. This initiative has delivered measurable improvements in operational efficiency, sustainability, and facilitated the adoption of Just-In-Time (JIT) port calls. Over the past year, the collaboration has enabled ONE to coordinate more than 1700 port calls globally, resulting in substantial fuel savings and reduced CO2 emissions.
The collaboration has transformed how ONE communicates directly with terminals, enabling faster, data-driven decisions and fostering greater trust in the berth planning processes. A standout example is the collaboration with Port Houston, where improved communication empowered ONE to adjust the vessel speeds to ensure JIT arrivals, effectively enabling reduction to bunker consumption and CO2 emission.
Globally, the integration of Portchain Connect has contributed to ONE’s objectives of efficient bunker fuel management and CO2 emission. These outcomes highlight ONE’s proactive adoption of digital solutions in line with its commitment to sustainability and operational excellence.
Regional teams within ONE have widely acknowledged the platform's impact. A Regional Vessel Operations manager stated, "The valuable insights and communication enabled by Portchain Connect have significantly improved our operations and sustainability goals."
ONE plans to expand the use of Portchain Connect across its global network in 2025, embedding digitalization and sustainability further into its operations.
"Over the past year, our collaboration with Portchain has demonstrated the value of digital berth alignment for improving efficiency and reducing emissions. We look forward to building on this success as we continue to work closely with our terminal partners and deliver operational excellence and enhanced service to our customers," said Captain Masaharu Urabe, Global Vessel Operations at Ocean Network Express.
Portchain shares ONE's vision for a more sustainable shipping industry and looks forward to continuing this impactful partnership.
