OptiPort, the first dispatch tool for nautical service providers, using Artificial Intelligence, is fully data driven. Its data and the artificial intelligence models are applied to calculate fact based tug requirements for a specific voyage.

Not all ports have the same clear instructions on tug types, bollard pull and numbers for specific voyages. Most ports still leave that decision to the responsible pilot, whereby differences in requirements between pilots, berths and vessels are more a rule than an exception.

As OptiPort is fully data driven, OptiPort is able to accurately forecast the number and type of tugs, required for s specific job. To be able to create a proper forecast, OptiPort observes a large variety of data points like, weather, berth location, vessel orientation, vessel size, type and cargo and it could even include the name of the pilot if it would be allowed. The result is an accurate forecast, which is correct in > 98% of the cases.

OptiPort automatically schedules the calculated number and type of tugs so the planner can already anticipate on the workload ahead. Once the pilot confirms the number/type of tugs, OptiPort will fix these requirements in the schedule and will change the forecasted number into a confirmed number of tugs. This results in less “workload-surprises” and allows your planners to use the available fleet to its full extent.
