A digital vessel call dossier is an online file that centralizes the information, documents, forms, checklists, communications and records related to the arrival, operation and departure of a vessel at a terminal. It allows the terminal and other authorized stakeholders to work from the same updated information base.

In liquid bulk operations, a digital platform can help organize checklists and documents related to international safety best practices, including forms and controls associated with ISGOTT 6, when applicable to the type of operation and the terminal’s procedures.

Yes. Depending on the project scope, integration with internal systems can be evaluated through APIs or other mechanisms. This helps avoid double data entry, reuse existing information and connect the digital vessel call dossier with the terminal’s internal processes.

An API allows data to be exchanged between the maritime operations platform and other terminal systems. It can be used to retrieve information or files from the dossier, link orders or vessel calls, and use existing data from internal systems in operational forms or documents.

For operations management, it provides greater visibility over the status of each vessel call, timings, pending tasks, documents, stakeholders involved and potential bottlenecks. It can also help analyze performance, compare indicators and identify improvement opportunities.

Standardization makes it possible to apply best practices, facilitate training, compare indicators, reduce operational variability, improve compliance and maintain a common way of working across different terminals, even when each site retains its own operational specificities.
