Portchain has announced that Hanjin Busan Newport Company (HJNC) has joined the Portchain Connect network.
HJNC will use the platform to increase the quality and speed of their berth alignment with customers through digital handshakes and secure data sharing.
Portchain Connect enables HJNC to receive real-time schedule and move count updates directly from carrier systems, and enables them to respond and counter propose quickly, to align the vessel schedule with the terminal berth plan.
The platform provides users with an easy-to-use overview of all its 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.

“We are excited to work with HJNC and help them drive efficiencies in their berth alignment process by facilitating streamlined data exchange with their shipping line customers,” said Thor Thorup, Portchain CCO & Co-Founder.
“We look forward to continuing our collaboration and continuously improving the platform based on user feedback.”
HJNC, located in Busan New Port, opened in 20 May 2009 as a container terminal with annual container capacity of more than 3 million TEU per year.
This announcement comes several months after Portchain announced DP World Antwerp Gateway will join and use the company’s network to increase the quality and speed of its berth alignment with customers through digital handshakes and secure data sharing.
More recently, Portchain announced a 5-year partnership with Hapag-Lloyd to deploy its solution across their global operations.
