US-based Kaleris used SMM Hamburg to launch new digital connectivity solutions designed to improve data flows between vessels, carriers and terminals and to lay the groundwork for a Cargo Data Exchange Hub planned for 2027. The platform aims to standardize and automate cargo and operational data exchange, reducing manual work, boosting supply chain visibility and tightening integration between shipboard and port IT systems.

At the SMM Hamburg trade fair, Kaleris, a provider of supply chain execution and terminal operating software, announced new tools focused on seamless digital connectivity between ships, liner operators and port terminals. At the core of the announcement is a forthcoming Cargo Data Exchange Hub, targeted for 2027, which is intended to provide standardized, automated sharing of cargo and operational status information in near real time. Industry coverage reports that Kaleris’ solutions are designed to integrate with both onboard systems and terminal operating systems, reducing manual re‑keying of data and eliminating duplicate message flows across the maritime logistics chain.
