PortableBerths

PortableBerths makes the service information related to port calls from PortCDM accessible and easily manageable. The application was created as a complement to the more general PortableCDM application for the purpose of providing terminal and berth operators essential basis for their tasks in fulfilling needs in multiple port calls. It is designed to be simple and straightforward so that it can be used to view and update timestamps effortlessly by anyone, anywhere.

Only timestamps and functionalities related to the logged in service provider will be shown, thus the user saves time by not having to navigate through loads of information but will rather be served relevant information. PortableBerths also encourages information sharing through effortless suggestion based updating of timestamps.

PortableBerths accesses timestamp information according to the port call message format (c.f. IALA S-211) and adopts the principles of data sharing and situational awareness according to the Port Collaborative Decision Making (PortCDM) concept, one of the enablers of Sea Traffic Management (STM). Users are authenticated through the maritime connectivity platform (MCP). The application connects to API’s for consumption and submission of timestamps provided by PortCDM compliant data sharing platforms.
