Estimating is expensive.
Port authorities, terminal operators, and port owners are under growing pressure to optimize operations, benchmark performance, and anticipate trade flows. Most are doing it with fragmented data: AIS feeds in one place, cost data in another, Statements of Facts sitting in unstructured documents nobody has time to parse.
That gap costs money, whether it shows up as underpriced tariffs, missed berth efficiency, or infrastructure decisions made on a hunch.
Five ways PortLog turns raw data into decisions.
Port Cost Benchmarking
Competitive tariff analysis and pricing strategy review across peer ports, by vessel type.
Turnaround & Dwell Time
AIS and Statement of Facts data combined for precise vessel stay durations, from arrival to departure.
Throughput & Volume
TEU and tonnage at port and terminal level, covering market share and capacity utilization.
Trade Flow & OD Analysis
Origin-to-destination cargo mapping and shipping lane analytics for demand forecasting.
Port Restrictions & Master data
Location master data at port and berth level, including restrictions, polygons, and operational parameters via API.
Built for the decisions you’re already making.
Benchmarking port costs and pilotage tariffs against peer ports
Monitoring operational efficiency, including berth utilization, waiting times, and handling rates
