Portchain has announced a five-year global partnership with Hapag-Lloyd to deploy Portchain Connect across the German ocean carrier’s global operations.
Portchain Connect digitises the process of aligning berths between carriers and terminals, enabling them to make earlier and more frequent scheduling decisions.
Using Portchain Connect, Hapag-Lloyd’s goal is to transform traditional email and phone communication into a digital information flow for aligning berth arrival information with...
Antwerp Gateway has decided to implement Portchain Connect to increase the quality and speed of its berth alignment with container lines.
Through Portchain Connect, Antwerp Gateway will receive real-time schedules and move count updates directly from carrier systems. In this way, Antwerp Gateway will be able to quickly respond, counter-propose and align the ship’s schedule with the terminal’s berth plan.
Portchain said it aims to simplify Antwerp Gateway’s communication channels and improve...

Tanger Alliance which operates Container Terminal 3 (TC3) in Tanger Med Port, has selected the Berth Optimisation Engine of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions provider Portchain in order to optimise its quayside operations.
Particularly, as Portchain’s Berth Optimisation Engine digitises the planning process and enables upgraded resource allocation, it will help the Moroccan terminal that went live on 1 January enhance its berth planning and its customers monitor berth status in...
South Carolina Ports (SC Ports) and Copenhagen-based tech company Portchain have announced a strategic collaboration in order to digitise berth planning.
The goal of the cooperation is the optimisation of the quayside operations for SC Ports’ container terminals, starting with the newly-established Hugh K. Leatherman Terminal (HLT).
Subsequently, the Wando Welch Terminal (WWT) and North Charleston Terminal (NCT) of SC Ports will adapt the Berth Optimization Engine (BOE) application of Portchain,...

As shipping’s port congestion crisis widens, tech-players are hoping to capitalise on calls for improved visibility across container supply chains.
SeaIntelligence’s Lars Jensen noted the lack of any real-time overview of global bottlenecks, as pockets of congestion spring up from Auckland to Singapore to Los Angeles.
“Instead, it is drip-wise in terms of each individual port,” he explained. “Sometimes you can only get the info from a carrier calling at the port/terminal, …

North Sea Terminal Bremerhaven (NTB) is the latest operator to sign-up for Portchain’s AI-powered berth optimisation engine, as the industry looks to tech to solve deteriorating schedule reliability.
Portchain claims its software will help NTB plan vessel berthing more effectively and enable sharing of berthing information in real-time with customers.
Thor Thorup, the Copenhagen firm’s chief commercial officer, said: “Berth optimisation is an important step in NTB’s ambitious digitisation...
Portchain has signed up Malaysia’s Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) for its AI-powered berth optimisation software.
According to Thor Thorup, Portchain’s chief commercial officer, the firm’s Berth Optimisation Engine will enable PTP to deploy assets such as labour, cranes and berth capacity more effectively, increasing productivity and reducing costs.
“Furthermore, the application enables better collaboration between terminal departments, as well as allowing the port to operate as a ‘paperless’...
