Every Hour Counts.
Every Decision Matters.
Demurrage doesn’t come from one bad decision. It comes from a hundred small disconnects between the people who needed to be aligned. OceanSMART brings clarity and control to terminal operations, vessel nominations, and compliance, replacing stale data and fragmented systems with a single source of truth that keeps every stakeholder aligned and every decision defensible.
The Problem
Demurrage isn't caused by one thing.
It's everything working in silos.
The Solution
OceanSMART
Every touchpoint connected. Every decision documented. Every stakeholder aligned.
Pre-arrival questionnaires close the preparation gap at the berth, ensuring dock personnel know exactly what connections, equipment, and resources a vessel requires before it arrives. Smart scheduling tools keep berths turning efficiently and reduce the conflicts that inflate demurrage exposure.
Laytime tracking gives every stakeholder shared visibility into events on the ground, catching problems before they become claims.
Every decision is documented and auditable, so when disputes arise, you have a clear timestamped record of what was known, what was decided, and when. And as your teams execute, OceanSMART learns from your operational data, replacing gut feelings with real benchmarks that drive continuous improvement.
Data integrations with OCIMF, CDI, Q88, Paris MOU, and PSIX bring vetting and port state control data directly into your workflow. System integrations with SAP, Oracle, T4, and RightAngle eliminate duplicate entry and keep your trading desk and terminal aligned.
Screening rules, approval logic, and workflows are configurable in real time, and automated audit trails replace the spreadsheets and email chains that create risk and slow teams down.
Rule-based policy checks and conditional approvals enforce governance at every stage, so accountability is never in question when claims surface.
Each terminal can be managed independently with its own workflows and compliance processes, while leadership retains a unified view across the entire portfolio.
Tailored for Every Stakeholder
OceanSMART solutions are designed to serve all key players involved in cargo movements.
SMART Terminal
Terminal operations run on coordination. When scheduling conflicts go undetected, berths sit idle, dock congestion builds, and demurrage accrues before anyone realizes the operation has fallen behind.
SMART Terminal gives schedulers and third parties a single, real-time view of every berth, pipeline, equipment assignment, and tank schedule, with conflict detection, validated event logging, and role-based visibility built in. Every stakeholder sees what they need. Every laytime event is documented and defensible.
SMART Vetting
A vessel clearance decision is only as sound as the process behind it. Fragmented workflows, stale inspection data, and approval chains spread across email expose organizations to compliance failures, duplicated effort, and delays that cost time and fixtures.
SMART Vetting brings every input in the decision chain into a single, auditable platform. Rule-based screening runs automatically against live data from OCIMF, PSIX, and other industry sources. Every approval is traceable, every decision is defensible, and every stakeholder gets the structure their role demands.
SMART Analytics
The data already exists. The problem is that it rarely reaches the people who need it, in a form they can act on, at the time it matters.
SMART Analytics consolidates operational data from vessels, terminals, berths, and external sources into a single validated platform. Schedulers monitor performance in real time. Leadership tracks KPIs, benchmarks efficiency, and plans capital improvements from the same data set. And when demurrage is high, teams can drill from the symptom to the root cause and build a documented case for change.
