Portchain has announced that the Port of Drammen will join its Portchain Connect network, a move reported by Port Technology International on 27 August 2026. Terminal operations at Drammen are provided by Greenport Services, which will use the platform to speed and improve berth alignment with customers.
Greenport Services intends to deploy Portchain Connect to enhance the quality and timeliness of its communications with carriers and consignors. The operator will rely on the platform to support more rapid agreement of berthing plans and to align expectations between terminal and shipping lines.
Portchain Connect, as described in the report, enables terminal operators to receive schedule updates and move counts in real time directly from carrier systems. That data feed is the central technical capability cited in the announcement and is presented as the mechanism enabling closer operational synchrony.
How the connection is described
According to the report, the platform links carrier system outputs directly to the terminal’s planning processes through a continuous exchange of scheduling and move data. The arrangement is intended to supply Greenport Services with near-instantaneous visibility of carrier-provided information, reducing dependence on manual updates.
Portchain’s announcement frames the functionality around two strands of information: the timing of vessel calls and the quantity of moves to be handled. Receiving both items from carrier systems in real time is presented as key to refining berth alignment and operational planning.
What Greenport Services will use the platform for
Greenport Services is reported to be using Portchain Connect specifically to increase both the quality and the speed of berth alignment with customers. The operator’s stated focus is on improving the process by which berthing windows and handling requirements are agreed and communicated to stakeholders.
The decision to adopt a direct, carrier-integrated feed of schedules and move counts is set out in the announcement as an operational choice by Greenport Services. The report does not include performance data or projected metrics but identifies the real-time data feed as the feature at the heart of the implementation.
The item published by Port Technology International notes that the post originally appeared on that site. The announcement is presented there as a step in the ongoing roll-out of the Portchain Connect network, adding Drammen to the list of terminals that will receive carrier-sourced schedule and move information.
Readers seeking further detail about technical integration, contractual terms or performance outcomes will need to consult the originating announcement or the companies involved, as the report summarises the adoption without disclosing implementation timelines or measured results. The information published on 27 August 2026 confines itself to the factual outline that Portchain has added the Port of Drammen, with Greenport Services operating the terminal, to the Portchain Connect network and that the platform will deliver real-time schedule and move count updates from carrier systems.
