For piloting, visibility is key. The PortCall’s Dispatch Dashboard gives you a clear picture of the day’s operations. Everyone works on the same page resulting in smoother, safer vessel transits. Vessel turnarounds are linked to berth reservations, reducing missed orders even when agents forget to file.
With integrated AIS, scheduling, and collaboration, dispatching has never been easier. By letting PortCall keep tabs on the details, dispatchers and pilots are free to concentrate on the big picture – safe navigation.
Agents enter movement orders via the web, eliminating redundant data entry for your dispatchers. When dispatch gets notified of a last minute schedule change directly from the ship, agents and pilots are automatically notified and schedules are synchronized in seconds. Coast Guard and CBP can view up to the minute sailing schedules and ships in port without bothering you.
