Digitising the berthing process

CTW will use Portchain Connect to increase the quality and speed of berth alignment with customers through digital handshakes and secure data sharing.

“Our collaboration with Portchain is underpinned by a shared commitment to excellence, as we work together to harness the power of data collaboration,” said Pierre Cordes, planning manager at Eurogate Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven.

Real-time scheduling

Portchain Connect enables a container terminal to receive real-time schedule and move count updates directly from carrier systems.

It enables operators to respond and counter propose quickly, to align the vessel schedule with the terminal berth plan and make berthing more efficient.

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. 

“The inclusion of Eurogate Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven in the Portchain Connect Network underscores our commitment to transforming the industry. We’re thrilled to embark on this collaborative venture and look forward to a continued partnership,” said Thor Thorup, CCO & Co-Founder, Portchain.

Portchain serves container terminals and carriers across Europe, Asia, the Americas, Australia and Africa.
