With this decision taken to simplify the process of aligning berths with shipping lines with its new investment, Kumport plans to increase berthing quality and speed through secure data sharing, thus being able to receive real-time program and movement number updates directly from carrier systems and quickly respond and make counter-proposals to align the ship program with the terminal berthing plan.
“The maritime sector will be digitalized”
Kumport Deputy Planning Manager İlyas Gürsoy evaluated the development as “Being part of Portchain Connect has changed our approach to berthing planning, automating data exchange and improving collaboration”, while Portchain Co-Founder and CCO Thor Thorup said, “We are happy to announce that Kumport has been included in Portchain Connect. Our collaboration aims to increase operational efficiency in key aspects of port operations and set a positive path for the digitalization of the maritime sector.”
