Based on proven knowledge

Wordclass services and tooling

Portwise uses models, tooling and expertise, to design smarter, more efficient and more sustainable ports and terminals for futureproof logistics around the world. We bring more than two decades of expertise through over 1,000 consultancy projects since 1996.

Automation consulting

Portwise’s Automation Consulting team supports terminal operators in transforming design concepts into fully operational and efficient automated terminals.

Automation & modernisation review

Portwise has developed a systematic approach how to identify the most suitable option(s) for automation of an (existing) container terminal

Business case & financial evaluation

Portwise has developed a validated financial model (“CASH") to support the financial assessment of terminal design alternatives.

Conceptual design & planning bulk terminals

Bulk terminals face many questions that needs an answer when progressing from initial ideas to a solid conceptual design.

Conceptual design & planning container terminals

At the Portwise design practice, we combine extensive operational and automation knowledge with the latest simulation tools.

Capacity & throughput analysis

Portwise has developed a systematic approach ensuring that your terminal will be able to meet future capacity demands for quay, yard, gate and rail.

Operational improvements planning

Portwise uses a comprehensive, data-driven improvement approach to assess and optimise terminal resources to their full potential.

Simulation analysis

Portwise aims to mitigate risks that relate to uncertain factors in design projects of new container terminals or retrofit current facilities.

“Portwise confirmed that our full capacity was about 6.5 million TEUs, but we had a lot of improvements that needed to be made, along with enhancements to our equipment to achieve that number. Today, our capacity is 6.5, but we’ve moved almost 6 million TEUs. The simulation has assisted us in establishing operating parameters to maximize our storage capacity. Now, we are moving on to further developments, such as adding the 90-acre Garden City Terminal West and renovating our Ocean Terminal.”
