Anchorage Management Software
Every vessel at anchor, planned, watched and accounted for.
Our anchorage management software lets you allocate anchorage positions, track every vessel in real time, manage the waiting queue and move ships to berth on schedule, with your operators in control of every decision.
- Port authorities
- Harbour masters
- VTS operators
Interface visuals are illustrative and use sample data.
One Record, from Arrival to Berth
Our anchorage management software replaces radio, email and spreadsheets with one connected workflow for every vessel at anchor.
-
Plan
Define anchorage zones, capacity, depths and restrictions once, so every allocation works from the same rules.
-
Allocate
Get recommended positions based on vessel size, draft and cargo, then approve the best fit in seconds.
-
Schedule
Order the arrival queue by your priority rules and line it up with berth readiness.
-
Monitor
Track every vessel live on the map, with alerts for anchor drag, zone breaches and lost AIS.
-
Coordinate
Keep shipping agents, clearances, pilots and berths aligned on one shared record.
-
Analyze
Review occupancy, waiting time and congestion to plan the next shift and the next season.
Put the Right Vessel in the Right Position
Planners see every anchorage position live, and the platform recommends the spot that fits the vessel, the conditions and your port's rules.
Your Whole Anchorage, Live on One Map
Operators see AIS positions, zones and vessel status in one live view, instead of piecing the picture together from radio and spreadsheets.

Vessel Positions and Zones
Every vessel in its assigned position, with zones, restricted areas and swing circles to scale.
Occupancy at a Glance
See how full each zone is, with counts for occupied, reserved and free positions.
Vessel Details in One Click
Identity, size, cargo, agent, time at anchor, clearance status and next move in one card.
Movement History
Replay any vessel's track to see how it arrived and whether it moved at anchor.
Congestion View
Spot build-ups early with density and waiting-time indicators across the anchorage.
Operational Dashboard
Vessels at anchor, inbound traffic, waiting time, alerts and next berth moves beside the map.

Request a DemoSchedule Every Vessel, from Queue to Berth
A vessel anchorage scheduling system that runs the full journey from pre-arrival notice to berth, so the queue stays fair, visible and predictable.
- Pre-ArrivalAgent submits notice
- QueuePosition by priority
- ClearancesPort, customs, health
- Berth ReadyPilot and tug booked
- AlongsideDues sent to finance
From Pre-Arrival to the Queue
Agents submit notices in their own portal, and gaps are flagged before the ship arrives.
Prioritization You Can Explain
Queue order follows your published rules, and every manual change records a reason.
Waiting Time, Tracked and Predicted
See time waited and expected time to berth, with long waits flagged before disputes start.
Scheduling Against the Berth
Linked to berth planning, so a vessel is marked ready only when its berth is free.
Clearances in the Same Workflow
Port, customs, immigration and health tracked per vessel, so no ship moves with paperwork open.
Anchorage-to-Berth Movements
Confirm pilot and tug timing, then update position and berth status in one step.
Automated Alerts, Human Decisions
The platform watches your anchorage around the clock, raises exceptions early and leaves every response in your operators' hands.
Configurable Exception Rules
Set the limits that count as an exception at your port, and change them any time without code.
- Anchor drag0.2 NM
- Outside assigned circle50 m
- AIS signal lost10 min
- Overstay72 h
- Wind speed35 kn
Alerts That Reach the Right Person
Ranked by severity, sent by dashboard, email or SMS, and escalated if no one responds.
Manual Override, Always Available
Operators can override a recommendation, reassign a position or hold a movement at any time.
Approval Workflows
Sensitive changes, like closing an area or extending a stay, can require a second approver.
A Complete Audit Trail
Every action is saved with user, time and the value before and after the change.

Anchorage management software helps ports plan, allocate and monitor vessels waiting at anchor. It combines anchorage capacity, vessel details, live AIS positions and berth availability, so operators can assign safe positions, manage the queue and move ships to berth efficiently.
Yes. The platform connects to AIS data providers and exchanges information with VTS and VTMIS environments. Integration scope is confirmed during discovery, based on the systems and interfaces your port already uses.
Yes. Administrators define anchorage areas, positions, restrictions, allocation rules, alert thresholds and dues tariffs without code changes.
Always. AI suggestions are advisory. Authorized operators approve, adjust or reject every recommendation, and each decision is recorded in the audit trail.
Yes. Agents get their own secure portal to submit pre-arrival information, track queue position and clearance status, and receive updates, with access limited to their own vessels.
The platform can be deployed in the cloud, in a private cloud or on-premises, where supported, to meet your port's data and security policies.
Timelines depend on the number of anchorage areas, integrations and data migration involved. A phased rollout plan is agreed after discovery, so teams can start using core capabilities early.
Pricing is scoped to your port: the number of anchorage areas, users, integrations and deployment model. You receive a written scope and proposal after discovery.
