Information regarding cargo prioritising can be made available and shared in the harbour and cargo management aspects of the JMT software, and the system can re-schedule regular call vessels automatically, says Mr Quennell.
Feedback from ports on the whole berth scheduling question mainly relates to this being an “evolving and elusive thing”, he says. “At the end of the day, it often comes to managing such things as delayed arrivals due to unforeseen circumstances on a case-by-case basis – this is where the flexibility of the software comes into play and allows the operator to rapidly evaluate options graphically in real time.”
