PortXchange provides digital solutions to optimise operations and reduce emissions from the shipping industry. After success in Rotterdam, PortXchange was launched in the ports of Felixstowe, Moerdijk, Algeciras, and Houston. Trusted by industry leaders worldwide to optimise over 100,000 port calls.
With these different trials, such as the one in Algeciras, have made it possible to confirm, among other things, that every port and even every terminal in a port is different and has a different operational process to a certain extent. In order to help facilitate the right information at the right moment to the carrier and agent, it is important to know who does what and when.
PortXchange is also now looking beyond container shipping and is beginning to target the bulk and liquid bulk markets. When asked why this may be of interest, Dita Bruijn, Director of Operations, PortXchange, said, Because we look at the port and shipping industry as an eco-system, in which specific trades cannot be isolated to optimise.
As PortXchange looks to conquer the bulk shipping industry, Bruijn said that some of the learnings in that sector turn out to be great improvements for the container side of the platform also. In addition, JIT arrivals can make a big impact on a global scale, Bruijn said, before claiming that should become part of the business case for port call optimisation.
