Berthing Planner Light

Berthing Planner Standard

Berthing Planner Full

Visual berthing planning

suitable for tank, bulk, ro-ro, car carrier, container vessels, cruise liner or general cargo terminals. Read more.

Graphical interface

for berth planning in space and time: get an overview of planned vessels arrivals and departures, see the entire picture with your own eyes.

Three planning zones

to suit the planning process: current, future, proforma. Current zone is for monitoring immediate situation, future zone is for planning berthing positions in the next few shifts, proforma zone is for preparing for the shifts coming after that.

Visual berths representation

configurable to reflect your unique situation, such as number and length of berths and locations of bollards.

Scalable berthing scenario view

you can zoom in or zoom out to see the details or general overview.

Drag-and-drop mode for manual vessels’ positions planning

move vessels along the berth line manually and see the results immediately; adjust berthing plans on-the-go.

Automatic mode for vessels’ positions planning

one click is all it takes to distribute the vessels along the berth; let the tool find best berthing positions available.

Detailed vessel information one-click away

get complete vessel info at any moment, including physical parameters, ETA&ETD, planned moves, and more.

Colour-coded vessels

based on their operators and other parameters: monitor high priority visits with ease.

Pre-assigned default vessel positions

vessels are placed along the berth appointed for this vessel type or vessel operator.

Precise vessel positioning

plan vessels positions depending on bollards location; also available positioning accuracy within one meter.

Multiple what-if berthing scenarios

you can work on several berthing scenarios at the same time and plan for a variety of operational situations.

Past berthing scenario view

you can jump to the date in past and see what the berthing scenario was like a day or a week ago.

Unavailable Zones

manages the zones closed for repair or regular maintenance and makes sure that no vessels will be planned for berthing at the wrong place and time. Read more.

Unavailable zones warning

during manual planning you will see if berthing position is invalid due to the unavailable zone zones.

Unavailable zones mark-up

you can set temporary unavailable zones to be shown on the planning interface and keep track of all the berth repair and maintenance.

Data import and export

allows to import data both manually and automatically. Berthing plans can be exported and distributed to the stakeholders in a variety of formats

Manual vessels schedule import

you can import vessel schedules manually as a tab separated file (CSV) which can be created using MS Excel application.

TOS data reader

can be configured to use your TOS data for berth positions planning automatically

Berthing scenario export to tab separated file

you can export a berthing schedule with vessel positions as a tab-separated file (CSV). It is a table which can be opened in MS Excel application or used for further automatic processing.

Berthing scenario export to PDF

you can extract any part of the scenario (e.g. date range, berth range) and export as a colored graphical representation in PDF format. The PDF file is scalable and can be printed in any size with the same high picture quality.

Berth Constraints

shows all broken constraints and makes sure that no restriction is forgotten. Read more.

Berth ranges and vessel type rules

you can define berth ranges and assign vessel types allowed to use these berth ranges. These rules will be obeyed every time the berthing tool distributes vessels along the berth automatically.

Berth constraints warning

if during manual planning some vessels are placed outside the assigned berth ranges, the red border draws attention to the issue.

Sea Side Constraints

manages draught and tidal restrictions and makes sure these constraints are taken into account when placing vessels at berth. Read more.

Tidal changes import

you can import tidal changes data and the application will make necessary adjustments automatically.

Sea side warning

during manual planning you will see valid and invalid berthing positions marked based on comparing the vessel's draught with berth draught and tidal restrictions.

Sea side rules

you can define draft rules for all the berths and set the tidal schedule to be considered. These rules will be obeyed every time the berthing tool distributes vessels along the berth automatically

Optimizer add-on

Calculates the optimal berthing locations needed to secure the lowest possible driving distance for prime movers to service all planned vessels. Read more.

Yard driving rules & distances configuration

specify your berth & yard geometry, set the yard driving rules to get the best results.

Automatic search for suitable berthing positions

depending on containers' location on the yard and assigned discharge blocks: elaborate calculations provide you with berthing plan you can then fine-tune.

Driving distances and container moving time reduction

brought by optimizing the vessels' berth location: save on fuel and time costs by using your resources more effectively.

Ideal vs current PM mileage comparison

though perfect world scenarios belong to the perfect world, you can see how the planned berthing positions differ from the ideal and make your decision based on that.

QC Planner add-on

manages quay cranes assignments to the vessels and monitors cranes utilization and maintenance. Read more.

Visual quay cranes representation

see all the quay cranes and their physical reach, keep track of assignments made and moves still uncovered.

Quay cranes assignment to vessels

just few clicks to assign the quay cranes to the vessel. Two planning schemas are available – when the quay crane assignments determine the port stay of the vessel and vice versa.

Uncovered moves monitoring

keep track of moves not yet covered by the quay crane assignments.

Quay crane utilization monitoring

keep track of current utilization of the cranes and plan maintenance in advance.

Unavailable quay cranes

you can mark if the crane is not available, its position, and the period of unavailability. Such crane will be excluded from the quay cranes planning along with the cranes blocked by it.

Auto-calculation of ETD based on QC progress and productivity

you can choose this option to calculate vessels portstay at your terminal depending on the quay crane operational progress.

Visibility add-on

Berthing Scenarios shared via arl-space.com

Allows automatic publishing and further sharing with customers and partners via arl-space.com. That includes berthing scenarios, QC assignments and maintenance plans.Read more.

Map Berth add-on

Geo Map Display of Port/Terminal

you can choose this option to calculate vessels portstay at your terminal depending on the quay crane operational progress.Read more.

Proforma add-on

Complex proformas management

You can define various proforma vessel calls and measure actual arrivals and departures against the proforma timing. Read more.

KPI add-on

QC KPIs

You can set different QC KPIs per QC type and track their fulfilment in time. Read more.

Berth Use KPIs

Set berth utilisation KPIs and track their fulfilment in time. Read more.

QC Maintenance Planner add-on

Planning of QC maintenance windows

You can plan the maintenance windows per quay crane and get you QC assignments done taking that into account. Read more.
