From request to recommendation in seconds.

Bayline checks every rule your duty officers check by hand: depth, size class, restrictions, separation, weather and occupancy. Then it proposes the answer and waits for approval.

  • Ranked options with the reason behind each
  • Conflicts flagged before they reach the apron or the anchorage
  • One click to approve, override or reassign

    One platform, three operating domains

    Airside and seaside share one operating picture.

    Airport authorities, port authorities, terminal operators and anchorage operators run the same core: one resource model, one rules engine, one billing ledger.

    Shared allocation engine

    A gate and an anchorage position are the same problem.

    Each is a resource with constraints, a calendar and a price. Bayline models every one the same way, so a rule written once works across aviation and maritime operations.

    FAQ

    Questions operators ask first.

    Does Bayline replace our AODB or Vessel Traffic Service?

    No. Bayline integrates with an existing AODB and with certified VTS and navigational systems. Where you have no operational database, Bayline's airport operational database can serve that role.

    Can we deploy airport and port modules separately?

    Yes. Each suite can go live on its own. Airport-only and port-only deployments use the same platform, so adding the other side later needs no migration.

    How do the allocation rules get configured?

    Your team defines zones, resource attributes, compatibility rules, priorities and restrictions in the admin console. Rules are versioned, tested against historical schedules, and applied without code changes.

    Who has the final say on an AI recommendation?

    Your authorized staff. Safety-critical changes such as gate reassignments, anchorage positions and berth moves stay pending until a person approves or overrides them, and every decision is logged.

    Which integrations come standard?

    REST/JSON APIs, webhooks, SSO with SAML or OIDC, MFA and automated account provisioning are included. Connectors for AIS, flight data, ERP and GIS are configured during implementation for your providers.

    How does implementation work?

    A discovery phase maps your resources, rules and tariffs. We then configure, integrate and run Bayline in parallel with current processes before cutover, suite by suite.

    Can tariffs and billing rules match our published schedule?

    Yes. Tariffs are configured by vessel or aircraft category, size band, duration, time of day and service, including penalties, exemptions and credit notes.
