DCHC were one of the first pilot terminals to trial the technology and among the first adopters in the Mediterranean.

Having successfully completed the trial phase, DCHC has now signed up to Portchain Connect, enabling swifter berth alignments.

“We are excited to work with DCHC and help them drive efficiencies in their berth alignment process by facilitating streamlined data exchange,” said Thor Thorup, chief commercial officer & co-founder.

“We look forward to continuing our collaboration and continuously improving the platform based on user feedback”

Portchain Connect enables terminals to receive real-time schedule and move count updates directly from carrier systems, helping them respond and counter-propose quickly to align the vessel schedule with the terminal berth plan.

Interfacing directly with the existing terminal operating system, the platform allows terminals and carriers to share and receive quality data and reduce delays in information transmission, and provides users with an easily accessible overview of all vessels calls.
