Smarter port operations through integration

Maritime tech leaders Marcura and Dataloy Systems have announced an expanded partnership aimed at delivering smarter, more efficient port operations directly within Dataloy’s voyage management system (VMS).

The integration gives chartering and operations teams instant access to key Marcura products – DA-Desk, PortLog and Marcura Claims – without leaving their primary VMS environment, enabling faster decision-making and fewer system switches.

“Chartering and ops teams already live in Dataloy,” said Dylan Ray Mace, vice president, Sales & Partnerships at Marcura.

“They don’t want to waste time navigating several tabs just to check port costs or follow up on a DA. This integration brings vital information into their existing workflow, saving time and keeping focus where it matters.”

The updated system now includes predictive port costs and waiting times, powered by PortLog’s global port performance data, all viewable within Dataloy. A single click opens deeper insights on PortLog’s platform for detailed analysis.

“Our users told us they wanted fewer systems to manage, not more features to learn,” said Dataloy chief executive Erik Fritz Loy.

“Our partnership with Marcura delivers exactly that – more capability within the workflow they already know.”

Future enhancements will further streamline port operations. These include advanced PortLog benchmarks, automated claims handling via Marcura Claims and synchronised laytime calculations across platforms.
