Portchain today announced Port of Drammen, with terminal operations provided by Greenport Services, will join the Portchain Connect network. Greenport Services 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 Greenport Services to simplify their communication channels and improve overall berth alignment. Portchain Connect enables Greenport Services 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.
“Efficient planning and close collaboration with shipping lines are essential to delivering reliable port operations. Portchain Connect gives us greater visibility throughout the berth planning process, enabling our teams to coordinate vessel calls more effectively and provide a more predictable service for our customers.”
- Øystein Amundsen, Ships Agent at Jas Worldwide Norway As
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.
