Portchain today announced that CICE Veracruz will join the Portchain Connect network. CICE Veracruz will use Portchain Connect to increase the quality and speed of their berth alignment with customers through digital handshakes and secure data sharing. Portchain is excited to partner with CICE Veracruz to simplify their communication channels and improve overall berth alignment. Portchain Connect enables CICE Veracruz to receive real-time schedule and move count updates directly from carrier systems, and enables them to respond and counterpropose quickly, to align the vessel schedule with the terminal berth plan.

“Portchain Connect gives us earlier visibility into vessel schedules and changes. This allows our team to plan berth operations with more confidence, reduce last-minute adjustments, and support the growth of container volumes at the Port of Veracruz.” Omar Lima Castillo, Director of Port Terminals, CICE

Portchain Connect Portchain Connect streamlines the flow of schedule data to shorten the time to align the berthing window. The platform allows terminals and carriers to share and receive quality data and reduce delays in information transmission. 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.
