PortLog and Veson’s partnership for dry bulk
Veson VIP + PortLog = 🚢📈👍. We are excited to announce that PortLog’s time-in-port and cost data is now available in VIP.
The integration between PortLog and VIP for dry bulk customers brings PortLog’s exclusive data straight into the heart of the Veson IMOS Platform (VIP), available in the notification pane of the voyage estimator.
Operators, charterers and ship owners can now more accurately estimate the PnL impact of their commercial port calls, in order to better manage risk and realise operational, cost, and environmental efficiencies.
PortLog draws on extensive transactional data with over 20 million harmonised time events extracted from SOFs and multiple layers of proprietary Master Data.
This enables chartering and operations teams to:
💵 Estimate the total cost of a port call
💸 Estimate the financial risks related to total turnaround time, unplanned downtime, weather impact and berth level restrictions
🏗️ Predict the relevant calling terminal within a port with more accuracy than ever before
🌧️ Assess the risks and opportunities related to demurrage and despatch impact at the pre-fixture stage

15% of voyage expenses can be taken up by port call related costs, therefore having reliable numbers and knowing how these costs are derived is extremely important for decision-making.
The cost of calling at a port needs to be as accurate as possible for the chartering team to calculate voyage expenses. How much costs can change depends on different variables which, if carefully assessed, support the risk analysis in taking cargo or not.
Operations Directors should ensure that continuous monitoring programs are in place to keep up to date on the latest sanctions and other regulations.
