Vessel schedules change by the hour. We allocate tugs across terminals and anchorages to cut idle time, repositioning and fuel cost, and reallocate as soon as the plan changes.
Every job depends on a vessel schedule you don't control, and small allocation choices add up to large costs.
Tugs sailing back and forth between jobs burn time and fuel.
Jobs outside regular hours come at a high labour cost.
A tug stronger than the job needs burns more fuel than necessary.
New ETAs, delays and extra jobs reshuffle the plan many times a day.
We know how dispatchers balance service levels, fleet costs and crew limits, often within minutes of a new request coming in.
Delivered as a web application for your dispatchers, connected to your existing systems.
Tugs assigned to incoming and outgoing jobs, and reallocated in real time when plans change.
Less idle time, shorter sailing distances and the right power for every job.
Test fleet size, positioning and subcontracting before you decide.
Tug planning builds on PTA, our existing tug allocation model. We use it as the foundation and tailor it to your port, fleet and dispatchers, so you start from a working model instead of a blank page.
