Port X change: “Leveraging pilot data to improve Houston port community efficiency”

Data sharing and transparent information exchange are one of the most optimal ways to improve efficiency in a port without expensive infrastructure and equipment investments. To achieve just that, PortXchange, together with the Greater Houston Port Bureau, has launched PilotTracker for the Houston port commuity. It’s the next-generation platform for real-time pilot scheduling and vessel movement information that gives any port stakeholder several hours’ notice of vessel’s arrival at the specific dock, allowing everyone to optimize allocation of their resources and adjust planning on time in case of any delays.
