Decision-making
Pre-plan port entries and exits, vessel services, loading and unloading procedures for smooth port interactions
The Challenges
There are thousands of maritime ports around the globe and no two are the same. Each has a unique layout and a distinct combination of regulations, restrictions, procedures, and requirements that mariners must know before executing a port call.
Ports are also always evolving to meet the needs of the global economy, which means the layout and location of facilities and services are liable to change. It is necessary to know terminal and berth specific information ahead of time, to plan a port approach that is efficient and minimizes unnecessary manoeuvering.
