Westport Moss Terminal implements Portchain for berth alignment

Westport Moss Terminal has joined the Portchain Connect network to increase the speed of its berth alignment with shipping lines. The container terminal will utilise the digital platform for data sharing and digital handshakes with its customers.

The Portchain Connect system will enable Westport Moss to receive real-time schedule data and move count updates directly from carrier systems. This automated data flow will allow the terminal to respond and counterpropose quickly, aligning incoming vessel schedules directly with the terminal berth plan to mitigate delays in information transmission.

“By joining Portchain Connect, we improve our ability to coordinate vessel calls earlier with carriers and respond more proactively to schedule changes,” said Helge F Instanes, Head of Business Transformation at Westport Moss.

“This ensures Westport Moss delivers higher predictability, better planning conditions, and more efficient cargo handling for our customers.”

Westport Moss is a container terminal located at the Port of Moss on the Oslofjord in Norway. Operating as a zero-emission terminal, the facility focuses on shifting cargo from road to sea through investments in electric cargo-handling equipment, digital operational systems, and technology to support sustainable supply chains.
