PortLog and Veson’s product partnership for dry bulk

PortLog’s laytime impact on port stays… now available in Veson’s VIP platform

The integration between the two systems can help ship owners, operators and charterers more accurately plan and execute their port calls, in order to manage risk and improve operational, cost and environmental efficiencies within the port stay part of a commercial voyage charter.

Via the Veson Partner Network, PortLog will be integrated into the heart of the Veson IMOS Platform (VIP), giving Veson users access to PortLog’s extensive data on port costs and port call times to unlock new opportunities and value.

The integration will enable dry bulk customers to enhance pre-fixture workflows within the VIP Voyage Estimator, enabling more accurate estimates of the time and cost of the port call component of a voyage, as well as estimates of the potential impact of unpaid time in port.

PortLog draws on extensive transactional data with over 20.5 million harmonised time events and multiple layers of Master Data.

This enables chartering and operations departments to:

  • Estimate the total cost of a port call
  • Estimate the financial risks related to turnaround time, unplanned downtime, weather impact, and berth level restrictions
  • Predict the relevant calling terminal within a port with more accuracy than ever before
  • Assess the risks and opportunities related to the demurrage and despatch impact before a fixture is agreed upon

PortLog data will now be directly and seamlessly embedded into users’ daily workflow in IMOS, providing users with context-relevant alerts and information at a terminal level for chartering, operations and claims handlers.
