Just-in-Time Port Call
Standard documentation
The complete framework of Just-in-Time Port Call supports digital port call planning, increased operational efficiency and optimal resource utilisation.
By moving container shipping towards a Just-in-Time port call process, DCSA port call implementation framework will enable container ships to optimise their steaming speed, thereby lowering fuel consumption and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Together, DCSA Just-in-Time Port Call standard and DCSA standards for Operational Vessel Schedules (OVS), which enable automatic sharing of schedule information between vessel operators and their partners, create a more transparent vessel voyage ecosystem.
As part of the Just-in-Time Port Call standard, DCSA has also published API definitions for the Just-in-Time Port Call on SwaggerHub, an open–source API development platform. Carriers can use these definitions to rapidly implement DCSA standard-compliant APIs.
As part of the DCSA Just-in-Time Port Call framework, DCSA and its member carriers have published port call data definitions, interface standards and messaging API (application programming interface) specifications for 112 event timestamps, which address the 6 main parts of a port call:
