Portchain builds cloud-based software products designed to streamline berth alignment and quayside operations for container shipping lines, terminals, and ports. Its platform replaces traditional tools like spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls by connecting operations to source data and offering predictive analytics. The company provides two core solutions: Portchain Connect, which serves as a berth alignment platform using digital handshakes for terminals and carriers, and Portchain Quay, which offers scenario-enabled berth planning tools to optimize quayside operations. Clients include major industry players such as Unifeeder, Ocean Network Express, EUROGATE, and Port Houston. The company states that its network has saved 800,000 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions since its launch, with its network encompassing over 200 container terminals and more than 40 percent of global container terminal capacity. Additionally, Portchain has raised over 14 million dollars in investment.
