Octo for berthing and berths

Berthing requires authorization. Octo helps schedule with the right information.

Under Law 12.815/2013, authorizing entry and departure, including berthing and unberthing, anchoring and vessel traffic in the port area belongs to the port authority. In Porto sem Papel, the Berthing Notice is sent to the port authority, which must accept it, and the PSP services return the registered berthing locations and the arrivals and departures for each DUV. Octo can help the scheduling team cross-check this information with the internal berth schedule.

The berthing locations, the DUV arrivals and departures and the internal schedule go into Octo, which returns the berth schedule and the differences for the team to handle.

What Octo does for scheduling.

Four possible deliverables. Authorization belongs to the port authority; your team decides the schedule.

Berth schedule with PSP data

Can build the internal berth schedule from the registered berthing locations and the arrivals and departures the PSP returns, for whoever has access.

Deliverable: internal schedule fed by the queries

Schedule × DUV

Can compare what the internal schedule plans with what the DUV queries show and list the differences for the team to handle.

Deliverable: list of differences per port stay

Occupancy history

Can store the arrivals and departures queried and build the occupancy history of each berthing location, in the format the team uses.

Deliverable: occupancy report per berth

Written scheduling rule

Can record the rules the team already uses to schedule berths, so the next decision starts from the same criteria.

Deliverable: documented scheduling rule
02

Eight arms, one berth schedule.

The same Octo cycle, applied to this topic. Each arm has a narrow role; the people who approve and sign are on your team.

  1. Discovery

    Understands the scheduling

    How the team schedules berths today, in which spreadsheet or system, and who decides.

  2. Data

    Links the registries

    Each berth in the internal schedule linked to the berthing location registered in the PSP.

  3. Security

    Uses the company's access

    The queries use your company's PSP access, kept in its vault.

  4. Architecture

    Picks the path

    Periodic query of arrivals and departures, or only when the team asks.

  5. Development

    Builds the routine

    Query, comparison with the schedule and list of differences, with a record.

  6. Review

    Checks with the team

    Compares with a week the scheduling team already knows.

  7. Release

    Delivers with your OK

    The fed schedule only goes into use with your approval.

  8. Documentation

    Records the rules

    Scheduling criteria and every change to them.

Octo does not authorize berthing. Authorization belongs to the port authority, and your team decides the schedule.

03

Each task, its path.

The criteria Octo uses to pick the path. The regulation and the official system remain the reference.

From request to routine.

Three steps. Each one only makes sense once the previous one has shown results on your team.

What Octo does and what stays with you.

Octo prepares everything, but does not sign. The document of record stays with whoever is accountable for it.

Octo prepares

Gathers, calculates, organizes and produces the documents: spreadsheets, reports, dashboards and drafts.

Deliverable: material ready for review

Your team reviews

The licensed professional reviews what Octo delivered before signing. If something doesn't add up, it goes back to Octo with the correction.

Step: review by whoever signs

Who signs

Octo does not sign. Designs, technical reports, ART/RRT, accountability reports and any official document are still signed by the licensed professional at the company or agency: here, the professional of record and the port authority.

Signature: professional of record and port authority
