Since the start of this year, the sixth edition of ISGOTT (the International Safety Guide for Tankers and Terminals) has mandated a more extensive exchange of information and checklists between terminals and sea-going vessels.

In response, Koole Terminals quickly looked for a solution to improve the pre-arrival process through digitalisation – one that would be in line with the new legislation. With its smart digital application for managing the pre-arrival process for international shipping, UAB-Online joined forces with Koole to optimise their application.

Describing this “smart and reliable” technology, Koole innovation manager Marc Hordijk said: “From the beginning of this joint initiative, the focus was on developing an integrated approach through the smart data exchange of cargo details.

“Before the arrival of a ship, any differences in data between the agent, the terminal, the ship and the surveyor are already eliminated. By having the correct data available to all parties when the ship docks, we have been able to significantly improve the entire supply chain.”
