But what does “digital handshake” actually mean in berth alignment? ❌ It is not a proforma. ❌ It is not a binding contract. A digital handshake is a real-time confirmation between carrier and terminal on the agreed berth window, based on shared schedule data. It allows both sides to adjust when conditions change and maintain alignment throughout the port call process. The result is stronger predictability, reduced waiting time, more stable vessel speeds, and improved berth planning. Read more here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eg8QFX5Q

Back in 2022, Portchain Connect was one of the first platforms to turn the concept of a digital handshake for berth alignment into reality on a global scale. At the time, port call coordination between carriers and terminals was often managed through static proformas, emails, phone calls, and fragmented updates. We believed alignment could be handled differently through real-time, data-driven confirmations between carriers and terminals. Today, more than 40k port calls have been coordinated between major shipping lines and more than 180 terminals worldwide. It reflects a broader shift from document-based coordination to shared, trusted alignment. Read more here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/exQNxB7m

Turn fresher data into action. Earlier ETB confirmations from terminals give feeders more reliable visibility of their berthing plans, helping them adjust operations sooner and reducing the disruption caused when connecting cargo is delayed.
