Summary
Vessel berthing is the process of mooring a vessel to a designated location in a terminal known as a berth, usually for the purposes of loading and unloading cargo or containers. From MAWANI perspective, the vessel berthing process is initiated when a shipping agent creates a request for a berth booking and ends at the allotment of berth by the terminal for the shipping agent.
Before a vessel is allowed to berth in the port, the Shipping Agent must request for a berth from the Terminal and get necessary approval from all authorities.
As a prerequisite, the Shipping Agent must ensure that the vessel registration has been completed and the vessel registration id exist in the MAWANI.
Once the expected arrival information is known to the Shipping Agent, a request for berth booking can be initiated by the Shipping Agent. To request a berth, the shipping agent must provide vessel details, voyage details, cargo details and berthing requirements.
The Shipping Agent may be required to obtain approval from other authorities (Ports, Customs etc) and may need to upload approval documents or provide approval refernce number along with the berth booking request.
Bharat Trade will forward the request to the remote system. Terminal operator will review the berthing request and allot the designated berth in the terminal through remote system. Berth allotment information will be forwarded to the Shipping Agent.
