The advance predictions of PortXchange\u2019s Shiptracker enables ports to receive reliable estimated time of arrivals (ETAs) to optimise port calls, better plan resource allocation and minimise emissions.<\/p>\n
Robbert Engels, PortXchange\u2019s director of product, commented: \u201cAround 30% of global shipping gets delayed, and it\u2019s a real challenge for everyone involved in logistics to plan their operations because of that. With Shiptracker, we wanted to improve visibility and make vessel arrival times more predictable so that every party who depends on this information can access it to optimise their business.\u201c<\/p>\n
Trialled at Rotterdam<\/strong><\/p>\n In addition, the automatic identification systems (AIS) tracking solution allows users to select a destination port, which then generates an automated port call vessel list.<\/p>\n All vessels with ETA predictions sailing to that specific port are also highlighted on a live map. Shiptracker was implemented first in the Port of Rotterdam and has been live there for three years.<\/p>\n With interest growing from other ports, PortXchange is offering a \u2018community licence\u2019 subscription for port authorities to embed the Shiptracker map into their own websites.<\/p>\n This will allow the port authorities to provide free access to accurate ETAs directly to their maritime community. With Shiptracker, port authorities can even integrate their planning into the system.<\/p>\n The product is currently being offered in three versions: an entry level free subscription; a \u2018Basic\u2019 licence and \u2018Premium\u2019 unlimited licences. The free entry level product includes: live terrestrial and satellite vessel tracking; email notification of ATA (Actual Time of Arrival); a portcall vessel list view; vessel information and reported ETA.<\/p>\n As PortXchange is on a mission to reduce CO2 emissions from the maritime industry, it plans to add a carbon emissions report for each vessel to Shiptracker to increase awareness about its carbon footprint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ports now have access to ship tracking technology that calculates arrivals up to three weeks in advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":1486,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-1485","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-products-services"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1485","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1485"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1485\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1487,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1485\/revisions\/1487"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1485"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=1485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
