Ports & Cargo Handling Services Limited has implemented Portchain Connect, a digital solution designed to enhance the efficiency of its berth alignment processes when dealing with shipping lines.
Portchain Connect allows the company to receive real-time schedule and move count updates directly from carrier systems, enabling quick responses and counter proposals to align vessel schedules with terminal berth plans.
This digital solution is set to reduce delays in information transmission and enhance schedule reliability.

Thor Thorup, CCO and Co-Founder of Portchain, stated: “We are excited to work with Ports & Cargo Handling Services Limited and help them drive efficiencies in their berth alignment process by facilitating streamlined data exchange.
“We look forward to continuing our collaboration and continuously improving the platform based on user feedback.”
Portchain Connect’s core objective is to expedite the flow of schedule data, ultimately shortening the time required to align berthing windows.
In addition to enhancing efficiency, this platform provides users with a user-friendly overview of all their vessel calls, ensuring secure berthing information transfer while eliminating the costs associated with manual, non-digitised communication.
Most recently, DP World Santos also joined the Portchain Connect network to improve the quality and timeliness of its berth alignment.
