Hot FAQ
What if ETA & ETD is changing?
That's the whole point of an computer supported berth planning - ETA and ETD IS changing! just reflect the new ETA and ETD in the time-space dimension, and it will be obvious which other adjustments and opportunities you need to pursue with your berth plan.
How can I share the berth plan with my colleagues?
The ARL Berthing Planner can create a PDF document with the current berthing plan, which you can email or fax to your colleagues and partners.
What does it cost?
Each deployable solution is charged a license fee depending on the size of your terminal, which includes one year free support & maintenance - it starts at just USD 20K. After expiry of one year support & maintenance you will be offered yearly support & maintenance at a cost of 15% of the current license fee.
Will it also work for container terminals only?
Yes it will. Many terminals use a large whiteboard (or excel) maintained matrix reflecting the berth and a time line in two dimensions; this is a professional tool version of the same visual overview.
