Port visits and berth times, logged for you
How long were we at that terminal again? With BargeFlow Port Reporter you no longer have to look it up. Every stop of your vessel is recognised from the AIS data and recorded: where, when and for how long.
What is recorded automatically
Arrival, departure and berth time
Per port visit, per vessel and per port. The times come from the AIS positions themselves.
Berth, anchor or drift
Stop detection tells the difference between lying moored, anchoring and drifting slowly.
The name of the terminal
A stop gets the name of the terminal or berth where your vessel lay, not just a coordinate.
Locks recognised
Waiting at a lock is not a port visit. It counts as sailing time.
What it is useful for
Checking port dues
You see exactly how long your vessel lay in a port, so it is easy to hold a port dues invoice up against your own data.
Questions from clients
Where is my cargo? What time was the vessel at the quay? The answer is already there.
Your own administration
Export port visits to Excel or CSV, or have a report emailed to you automatically.
Your own zones on the map
Do you work with a fixed quay, your own jetty or a waiting berth? Draw a zone on the harbour map yourself. Every time a vessel enters or leaves it, that is recorded.
This also works for terminals and ports that want to see which vessels arrive and leave.
Still in development
I am working on automatic port declarations for ports that support it. That is not there yet; until then you do have all the times at hand.
