DP World terminals in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Fremantle have all successfully integrated Portchain technology into their operations, two years after implementing Portchain Connect.
The integration will automatically update terminal berth schedules and enhance the speed and quality of berth alignment through digital handshakes and secure data sharing.
With Portchain Connect, the organisation receives real-time schedule and move count update directly from carrier systems, allowing them to respond and counter-propose quickly to align the vessel schedule with the terminal berth plan.
“We are excited to continue to work with DP World and help them drive data efficiencies in their berth alignment process by facilitating streamlined data exchange with their shipping line customers,” CCO and co-founder of Portchain Thor Thorup says.
Portchain was founded by three McKinsey project managers in Copenhagen back in 2017 and has evolved to operate across the globe.
Its integration with DP World’s Australian operations, however, are the first in the region.
Thorup says the value provided by Portchain operating in Oceania is felt in the company’s global operations.
“As our first customer in Oceania, their close collaboration and valuable feedback have been instrumental in our continuous efforts to enhance Portchain Connect.”
