OptiBook Launch
Container management solution, Optibook, has been launched by Patrick Terminals at the Port of Brisbane, Australia.
Developed by OneStop in consultation with landside operators, OptiBook integrates with the Vehicle Booking System (VBS) to provide enhanced visibility of container status, improve booking efficiency, and deliver greater transparency across the landside supply chain.
OptiBook changes the process from vessel-based availability to container-based availability. Instead of releasing slots against a vessel timeframe, import slots will only be available once a container has been fully discharged and marked as “ready.”
OneStop has highlighted several benefits of the new system, including: better slot access and higher truck utilisation; enhanced visibility for planning and scheduling, a more intuitive booking interface and integration opportunities, and real-time updates and on-the-go efficiency via the OneStop Deliver App.
OptiBook has previously been rolled out at other terminals in Australia, including Patrick’s Melbourne facility (December 2023), DP World’s West Swanson Terminal in Melbourne (December 2024) and in July 2025 at DP World’s Fisherman Island Terminal in Brisbane.
