The app works together with arl-shipping.com’s cloud Crane Logger to display real-time loggings. Using the app therefore make crane stoppages visible in real-time as well as waiting times for yard handling gear and trucks, weather breaks, breakbulk handling times, hatch covers and gear boxes, breaks for shift changes, meals and more. The crane activities’ loggings are synced from the quay side Android phones to the cloud Crane Logger within seconds.

René Bendt, director, arl-shipping.com, said: “The Android Crane Logger brings operational value, adding IT support to any port transport professional irrespective of local IT investments and corporate infrastructure, piggybacking on national mobile telco infrastructure, which is available throughout the world including almost all third world ports.”

“Aside from the direct benefits of real-time crane activity loggings which cannot be tampered with, the Crane Logger’s cloud app leverage the power of always and anywhere internet accessibility by providing a real-time dashboard giving insight to what actually goes on under the cranes during the port stay,” he added.

The app can be downloaded from Google Play.
