The network of the future

The global container shipping industry is significantly challenged with severe congestion, significant delays, lack of container availability, and high container dwell time.

Vessel scheduling and berth planning operations have become increasingly complex, with many of the traditional tools such as proforma plans becoming practically unusable.

At Portchain, we believe carriers and terminals can achieve predictable and reliable operations through increased collaboration and data sharing. With better tooling they can that leverage the power of standardized data, AI and machine learning which the industry has yet to take full advantage of.

We are building the network of the future for carriers and terminals to optimize scheduling and berthing through a neutral, easy to adopt, standardized enterprise solution.

We are Portchain. Come join your partners on the network!

Portchain’s contribution

Just In Time (JIT) arrivals allow ships to optimise speed during their voyage to arrive in port when berthing is available. The latest study by released IMO, calculate the potential fuel consumption and CO2 emmision reduction from the effective implementation of JIT for the container shipping sector. Through Portchain, carriers and terminals can improve collaboration, control data sharing and utilize alignment solutions to support JIT arrivals.
