Efficient container handling isn’t just about imports and exports; it’s also about agile rehandling during port calls. With shipping liners emphasising capacity utilisation, a digitised process for restowing is paramount. Grieg Connect’s latest feature—a dedicated restow module—is set to launch in our Terminal Operating System (TOS) this month.

We are excited to bring you an important update regarding the security of your Grieg Connect experience. As a user with a Grieg ID and access to our software systems, we want to ensure that your personal and business-critical information remains secure. In line with this commitment, we are introducing a new authentication flow that includes Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and federated login with Azure AD in our production environment.

In an era where data protection is of utmost importance, we at Grieg Connect are taking a significant step to enhance our security measures. We are introducing two-factor authentication (2FA) and federated login across five of our modules: Port, Security, Explore Plan, and Terminal. This decision reflects our commitment to upholding the highest levels of data security and privacy for all users of our software. 

Mooring planning is an important part of ship arrival preparations. As ships get larger and margins smaller, there is an increasing need for a common real-time picture. To meet this need, an easy-to-execute, digital mooring plan integrated with PORT, Grieg Connects PMIS, will now be rolled out to more than 45 Nordic ports.

Port of Kaskinen has seamlessly integrated, Explore, Grieg Connects BI module into their Port Management Information System (PMIS). This makes them the first Port authority to utilize the new tool for strategic and operational decision making.

Over 80 percent of global trade is transported from producers to consumers via sea routes. Containers are the preferred carrier, but they are occasionally damaged during transport. It is therefore important for container terminals in their terminal system (TOS) to easily register damage, work on it, and possibly make repairs if requested by the container owner. Grieg Connect has now created a damage module to meet this need for our customers.

In 2022, Grieg Connect worked on user design, new features, and a technical upgrade to improve the workday for port captains, who handle port calls in our port management information system (PMIS). This has been in user testing, since the new year at nine collaborating ports, and is now released to all customers.

Port of Ahus realises its newly launched digital strategy with Grieg Connect’s cloud-based system for port and terminal operations. The new cloud-based system boosts the port’s potential and competitiveness. After careful pre-planning and analysis, Port of Ahus has chosen to implement all of Grieg Connect’s modules with the goal of being in full operation with the whole package on April 1, 2023.

Grieg Connect, one of the leading software service providers for ports and terminals, bases an office in Tampere, Finland.
