Westport Moss Terminal implements Portchain Connect to
simplify the berth alignment process with shipping lines
Portchain today announced Westport Moss will join the Portchain Connect network. Westport Moss 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 Westport Moss to simplify their communication channels and improve overall berth alignment. Portchain Connect enables Westport Moss 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.
"By joining Portchain Connect, we improve our ability to coordinate vessel calls earlier with carriers and respond more proactively to schedule changes. This ensures Westport Moss delivers higher predictability, better planning conditions, and more efficient cargo handling for our customers."
Helge F Instanes, Head of Business Transformation at Westport Moss
Portchain Connect
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 are pleased to welcome Westport Moss to the Portchain Network. Improved coordination between terminals and carriers supports more predictable vessel planning and contributes to more efficient port operations."
