Before, during and after the port call of a container vessel many different stakeholders have to align on the cargo to be loaded and discharged. The central planner at the ocean liner, the vessel planner at the terminal, the port agent and the ship’s crew have to keep track of the right containers being discharged, restows on board, the correct containers to be loaded, the safety of the cargo, the safety of the vessel and the safety of the terminal personnel. Communication and collaboration today is relying on manual work, communication via email, USB sticks or telephone and suffers from lacking flexibility to last-minute changes or missing cargo. This may lead to wrong containers on board, planned containers missing, deviations from plan the now affect the seaworthiness of a vessel and lacking time to check security standards.
As an industry leader in maritime supply chain execution and visibility Kaleris is in the perfect place to combine data from central planner, ship, terminal and agents and automate data exchange that leads to more visibility and flexibility around a port call.
Learn how central planner, terminal planner, ship’s captain, loading officer and port agent can enhance visibility on all important cargo data around a port call in advance, look at the same source of truth when it comes to loading plans and documents and are prepared to handle information about special cargo, shifted containers, missing containers and last minute bookings or cancels in a centralized way. This enables the stakeholders to take action earlier, adjust to changes, create time for security checks and follow up on deviations from plan in a smart and efficient way without even leaving the software tool they are working in.
