Portchain has announced that Pusan Newport Company will join the Portchain Connect network.
Pusan Newport Company will use Portchain Connect to increase the quality and speed of their berth alignment with customers through digital handshakes and secure data sharing.
Portchain is excited to partner with Pusan Newport Company to simplify their communication channels and improve overall berth alignment.
Portchain Connect enables Pusan Newport Company 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.
Portchain Connect streamlines the flow of schedule data to shorten the time to align the berthing window.
The platform allows terminals and carriers to share and receive quality data and reduce delays in information transmission.
Portchain Connect provides users with an easy-to-use overview of all their 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.
Thor Thorup, CCO & Co-Founder at Portchain, said: “We’re proud to partner with Pusan Newport Company. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to smarter, more transparent planning that benefits both terminals and shipping lines.”
Earlier this October, Portchain reported that its network helped ocean carriers save 800,000 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions since its launch in 2022.
