About Port Call Optimization
Making the process of a port call anywhere in the world as efficient as possible, from the time the vessel departs from its previous port of call to its arrival at the destination port, completing operations and then leaving the berth. Ultimately, this will reduce vessel emissions en route, in and around ports, terminals and port cities, while ensuring greater safety, compliance, a cleaner environment and lower costs for shipping lines, shippers, terminals and ports. It will also improve crew rest planning and reduce fatigue and stress associated with missed deadlines and unexpected events during a port call.
