With improved voyage planning capabilities, the company aims to help its clients make informed decisions as well as reduce time and costs.

The Shipping Guides’ data covers pre-arrival information, along with geographical polygons for all port sites, such as port limits, pilot areas, environmental information and anchorages.

OneOcean stated that this data will harmonise voyage planning and decision-making workflows by including information on environmental monitoring, port congestion and global shipping activities.

OneOcean CEO Martin Taylor said: “The Guide to Port Entry data will sit alongside our already comprehensive information on compliance, navigation and environmental factors to provide our customers with the best tools to enable decision making.”
