Optimized transhipment operations through a single window platform

About

The Transshipment module enables Shipping Agents to process cargo transfers electronically using data already available in the PCS. Agents can select containers from existing manifest records without re-entering container details.

This simplifies the transshipment process, especially for high-volume operations, and supports faster turnaround and coordination between vessels.

Shipping Agents

Shipping Agents can complete transshipment processes faster and with fewer manual steps. This reduces administrative workload.

Terminal Operators

Terminal Operators receive early notice of transshipment instructions. This supports more efficient yard planning and resource allocation.

Customs and Port Authorities have visibility of container transfers. This improves compliance monitoring and oversight.

Importers and Exporters

Importers and Exporters benefit from fewer delays in cargo movement across vessels, especially in multi-leg shipments.
