TLME News Service

Portchain has announced that DP World Santos has joined the Portchain Connect network. DP World Santos uses Portchain Connect to increase the quality and speed of their berth alignment with customers through digital handshakes and secure data sharing. 

Portchain Connect enables DP World Santos 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 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, PortChain said: “We are excited to work with DP World Santos and help them drive efficiencies in their berth alignment process by facilitating streamlined data exchange with their shipping line customers.

"We look forward to continuing our collaboration and continuously improving the platform based on user feedback.”
