What-if you could share your "live" berth schedule with the rest of the world?

Why would/should you share your berth schedule?
Sharing a live berth schedule improves transparency and trust across shipping lines, agents, terminal operators and service providers. It enables better coordination of arrivals, pilots, tugs and yard resources, reduces email traffic and manual updates, and helps stakeholders react faster to disruptions, ultimately lowering delays, congestion and demurrage risk.

What are the downsides?
Live schedules require strong data governance. Inaccurate or rapidly changing data can cause confusion if updates are misinterpreted or relied upon too rigidly. There may also be concerns around commercial sensitivity, access control and cybersecurity, making role-based visibility and clear communication rules essential.

Dropboard is a web-based berth planning and scheduling platform from Systems Navigator designed for the maritime, port, LNG and liquid bulk terminal industries. It uses advanced “Smart Scheduling” algorithms, machine learning and constraint-based optimization to help planners allocate berths, pilots, tugs and other resources efficiently while reducing waiting times, berth occupancy and demurrage. With real-time feedback, modular configuration and easy data integration via APIs, Dropboard improves operational transparency, throughput and decision-making across the supply chain.
