Mooring and unmooring jobs come in all day, all over the port. We allocate boatmen teams so they spend less time travelling between jobs, while respecting working hours, skills and preferences.
Every allocation affects the next job. A team in the wrong place means transit time, delays and extra cost.
Teams criss-crossing the port cost time and money between jobs.
Shifts, overtime and rest rules limit who can take the next job.
Not everyone fits every job, and preferences matter for a stable team.
Building a feasible, fair allocation by hand takes hours every day.
We know how planners balance job times, travel across the port and the people behind every team.
Delivered as a web application for your planners, connected to your existing systems.
Every job matched to a team, ready for your planner to review and adjust.
Shorter routes between consecutive jobs mean less unproductive time.
Your planner focuses on exceptions instead of building the plan from scratch.
Boatmen planning builds on PBA, our existing boatmen allocation model. We use it as the foundation and tailor it to your port, teams and planners, so you start from a working model instead of a blank page.
