A port call involves the ship, the agent, the terminal, the pilots, the tugs and the authority, each with its own estimate of when things happen. Port call optimisation starts by giving them one shared and honest one.

The familiar pattern is a ship steaming at full speed to anchor for two days. It burns fuel it did not need to, emits more, and, under the EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime, now pays for both. The IMO’s work on just-in-time arrival describes the alternative: agree a berth time early enough that the ship can adjust its speed. What prevents it is rarely the idea. It is that the ETA, the berth plan and the service bookings live in separate emails and systems that do not update one another.
So AI port operations work starts with data, not models. Predicted arrival from AIS positions and weather, the agent’s messages, the terminal’s berth plan and the pilot and towage schedules combined into one timeline that every party sees, with the uncertainty shown.
AIS track, weather, agent ETA

pilot, tugs, mooring aligned to the window

conflicts, changes, requested arrival time
It is the coordination of everything around a ship's visit to port, so arrival, berth, services and cargo operations line up with as little waiting as possible. In practice it means sharing a reliable ETA and berth window early, so the ship can adjust speed for just-in-time arrival, and keeping pilots, tugs and terminal on the same updated plan.
For predicting arrival times from AIS and weather, forecasting congestion, proposing berth and crane allocations, reading agent and terminal messages into a shared timeline, and in terminals for yard planning and equipment maintenance. The decisions about allocation and navigation remain with the port, the terminal and the harbour master.
No. It works with the port community system, the terminal operating system such as Navis N4, and the national single window. It adds prediction and coordination on top of them, and writes the shared plan back into the systems people already use.
