Port of Gothenburg rolls out Digital Port Call platform to automate vessel calls

According to Port Strategy, the Port of Gothenburg has introduced a new Digital Port Call platform designed to provide faster, safer, more efficient and more sustainable vessel call processes. From a ship’s departure at its previous port until its arrival at Gothenburg, information must flow between up to 120 different parties; the platform aggregates and processes this data into a common situational picture to support data‑driven decision‑making throughout the call. The system also enables just‑in‑time arrivals by issuing a “digital queue ticket” well in advance, reducing the need for ships to rush to secure a favourable slot and lowering waiting times at anchorage and alongside. When total reductions in anchorage and berth time are calculated, the port expects an annual decrease of roughly 6,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions in its area.
