Command every vessel, yard, and gate — from one system.
Legacy TOS software makes planners react to congestion. u7ports puts berth, yard, gate, and carrier data in one real-time model — so your team plans around what's coming, not what already went wrong.
From vessel ETA to gate-out, without the guesswork.
Plan the call
Vessel ETAs, stow plans, and berth windows sync automatically — no manual re-keying between systems.
Work the terminal
Gate, yard, and crane teams work from the same live data — every move dispatched against the current plan.
See it close out
Control Tower analytics track every call against plan, so the next one gets tighter.
Built for every corner of the terminal
Terminal Operations
Coordinate every physical movement on the terminal, from truck arrival to vessel departure, in one real-time system.
- OCR-based gate check-in with appointment enforcement
- Berth windows optimized across tide and draft
- Live container and equipment location across the yard
Vessel & Marine Operations
Plan berths, pilotage, tugs, and vessel turnaround with a scheduling engine built around tide and draft constraints.
- Automated berth allocation across concurrent vessel calls
- Pilot, tug, and mooring coordination workflows
- Turnaround forecasting tied to stow plans
Advanced Yard Planning
Optimize container stacking, slot assignment, and crane dispatch with a model that reacts to demand in real time.
- Predictive slot assignment ahead of outbound demand
- Automated re-stacking to cut non-productive moves
- Live yard density alerts before blocks hit capacity
Move Control Engine
Dispatch equipment and sequence crane moves straight from the stow plan and live yard state.
- Crane moves generated straight from the discharge plan
- Equipment assignment updates as yard conditions change
- Blocked moves routed straight to the Exception Centre
Cargo & Container Management
Track condition, location, and status for every box from vessel discharge through final release.
- Container 360° — every event on a box in one timeline
- Truck appointment slots, OCR check-in, and gate-out release
- EIR condition capture at every handoff point
Port Community & Digital Clearance
Connect customs, brokers, agencies, and the terminal to the same record with single-window filing.
- One digital submission covers customs and every agency
- Hold, inspection, and release workflows tracked end to end
- Port Community System messaging for all participants
Vessel Arrival → Clearance → Berth → Terminal → Yard → Gate → Cargo Release → Billing → Intelligence.
Every u7ports module plugs into this same chain — one live record moves through all nine stages instead of getting re-entered at each handoff.
- 1 Vessel Arrival ETA and stow plan sync in
- 2 Clearance Single-window customs filing
- 3 Berth Allocation across tide and draft
- 4 Terminal Discharge and load execution
- 5 Yard Stacking and slot optimization
- 6 Gate Landside appointment and OCR check-in
- 7 Cargo Release Hold checks and cargo release
- 8 Billing Tariff rating and invoicing
- 9 Intelligence Port Call & Container 360°
Every vessel call, one live record.
Vessel, voyage, berth, clearance, marine services, cargo ops, documents, and charges — all rolled into a single record planners and execs read the same way.
Every box, tracked booking to empty return.
Location, customs status, dwell time, documents, and charges for a single container — in one view, at every stage of its journey.
- Booking
- Gate-In
- Yard
- Load
- Voyage
- Transship
- Discharge
- Clearance
- Release
- Gate-Out
- Empty Return
Trusted across the maritime supply chain
Legacy TOS software plans in batches. Ports don't move in batches.

- EDI mapping projects that take months per carrier
- Congestion discovered after it happens
U7PORTS
- Sub-second sync across every operational domain
- Pre-built EDI 322/301/315 message sets, live day one
- Congestion flagged before the block hits capacity

Common questions
How long does implementation take?
Most terminals go live in 8–14 weeks, depending on the number of berths, gates, and carrier integrations in scope. Our implementation team runs the rollout end to end.
Can we migrate carrier EDI connections without downtime?
Yes — carriers are migrated one at a time onto pre-built EDI 322/301/315 message sets, with the legacy system running in parallel until each connection is verified.
Does u7ports integrate with our existing gate hardware?
u7ports ships with drivers for the major OCR camera, weighbridge, and RFID gate hardware vendors, and an open API for anything custom.
What does carrier onboarding look like?
Carriers get their own portal login to manage vessel schedules, fleet, EDI messages, and invoices — no software install required on their side.
