EVYAPPORT implements Portchain Connect to simplify the berth alignment process with shipping lines

Portchain today announced EVYAPPORT will join the Portchain Connect Network.  EVYAPPORT will use Portchain Connect to increase the quality and speed of their berth alignment with customers through digital handshakes and secure data sharing. EVYAPPORT is the first Turkish container terminal to join the Portchain Connect Network. Portchain is excited to partner with EVYAPPORT to simplify their communication channels and improve overall berth alignment. Portchain Connect enables EVYAPPORT to receive real-time schedule and move count updates directly from carrier systems, and enables them to respond and counter propose quickly, to align the vessel schedule with the terminal berth plan.

“EVYAPPORT is the first Turkish container terminal to join the Portchain Connect Network. We hope that our newest collaboration with Portchain, which we deeply embrace, is inspiring for all Turkish ports.”

H. Kayhan Alipaşaoğlu, Evyapport Container Terminal Manager

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.
