What this board replaces

One screen instead of a logbook, a whiteboard, and a phone.

Most harbor desks already have an operating picture — it is just distributed across a paper log, a berth whiteboard, a radio, and whoever happens to remember. The ops view is that same picture assembled in one place and kept current as work moves.

The metrics across the top are the desk’s standing questions: how many movements today, which berths are committed, what is waiting on review, what is restricted. The columns underneath are the work itself, each ticket carrying its own status, responsible party, and next action.

About the boards on this page

These are illustrative sample boards — placeholder vessels and counts arranged to show the product’s structure, not live customer data or product screenshots.

Your board reflects your harbor: your berth map, your queues, your restrictions.

Board logic

Metrics and queues should speak the audience’s language.

The same underlying platform can look like a fleet desk, principal portal, captain desk, harbor control view, tenant service desk, or vendor dispatch board.

1

Clear movement control

Arrivals, departures, assignments, and exceptions are visible in one place.

2

Fewer manual updates

Visitors and tenants get structured status rather than repeated desk calls.

3

Better public-facing operations

Notices and restrictions can be routed by affected zone or audience.

4

Cleaner shift handover

The harbor desk closes with a useful operating record.

During a live port call

What the desk actually watches, hour by hour.

Follow one visiting vessel across the board through a single port call.

On approach

The vessel sits in the incoming column with its requirements visible: LOA, draft, power need, permit status. A readiness blocker — one outstanding document — shows on the ticket before the vessel is anywhere near the fairway.

Arrival window

The ticket moves to its assigned berth. The berth’s own card flips to occupied with its power constraint noted, and the scheduled services line up beneath it in order.

Mid-call exception

Maintenance blocks an adjacent berth. The exception opens on the board with a responsible party and an urgency flag, and the restriction notice routes to the tenants it affects — nothing changes for anyone unaffected.

Departure and close

The vessel departs; the ticket closes with services delivered and the exception’s resolution attached. The berth card frees, and the whole call is already in the daily report before the shift ends.

Questions

Frequently asked about the ops view.

Is the board updated in real time?

The board updates as work is logged and statuses change. It is an operating picture of the desk’s work — a queue and status layer, not a radar or AIS replacement.

Who can see the ops view?

Access is permissioned by role. The harbor office sees the full board; tenants, agencies, and vendors see scoped slices — their own requests, notices, and service windows.

Can the board be organized by dock or zone?

Yes — queues, restrictions, and notices can be tied to berth zones, docks, and operating areas, so a closure on one pier reads as exactly that.

How does it handle shift handover?

What changed during a shift — movements, decisions, exceptions, notices — stays on the record, so the incoming watch opens the board and reads the day instead of hearing it secondhand.

What happens to exceptions that outlast the day?

They stay open on the board with a responsible party and follow-up record until resolved, and appear in each daily report along the way — nothing quietly expires.
