LBC Bayport Terminal Goes Live with UAB-Online

LBC Tank Terminals has successfully gone live with UAB Online at its Bayport facility in Houston, Texas. This milestone marks the completion of phases 1 and 2 of the digital implementation project. With these first stages now operational, Bayport is streamlining its terminal processes, improving communication between stakeholders, and setting the stage for full digital transformation across its operations.

A Key Terminal on the Houston Ship Channel
LBC Bayport plays a vital role in the chemical and energy supply chain. Situated on the Houston Ship Channel, the terminal provides:

Deep-water dock access
Extensive pipeline connectivity
A rail interface that links directly to key industrial areas
These advantages make Bayport a strategic hub for the storage and handling of liquid bulk products in one of the world’s busiest ports.

Embracing Digitalization for Greater Efficiency
Terminal operations involve many moving parts like vessels, agents, surveyors, and terminal operators all coordinating to ensure safe and timely product transfers. Historically, much of this communication relied on phone calls, emails, and paper documents.

By introducing UAB Online, LBC Bayport is transforming those manual processes into an integrated digital workflow. This transition enhances:

Operational efficiency and coordination
Accuracy of information shared between parties
Transparency and compliance in all key steps of terminal operations
Phased Implementation at LBC Bayport
The digital rollout at Bayport is being executed in multiple stages to ensure smooth adoption and minimal disruption.

Phase 1:

Introduction of digital dossier creation for vessels and barges
Online Notice of Readiness (NOR) submissions
Phase 2:

Implementation of document sharing in PDF format
Improved transparency and accessibility for all stakeholders
Future phases will include advanced digital document creation and enhanced checklists to further streamline operations.
