The pressures on global supply chains have reached an all-time high. Every link in the supply chain has to seamlessly and effortlessly connect to the next link to save time and money. The decision whether or not to charter a vessel relies heavily on ship/terminal compatibility. For traders, the speed at which they receive vetting feedback impacts their decision to make or leave a deal. But as an operator you know there is more at stake. Like the potential for possibly grave safety incidents. Cutting corners can cost you much more than just money…
This is why you need the fully-automated Vessel Clearing Tool from Tankterminals.com. Implementing the tool means that your terminal can eliminate time-consuming manual clearance processes that can easily be marred with human error, are based on outdated terminal databases, and leave you and your terminal prone to potentially major safety incidents.
Manual clearance often means that multiple departments have to be involved. This leaves you vulnerable to other people’s shifts and schedules. The fully-automated Vessel Clearing Tool provides you with complete access to all critical information 24/7. And complete flexibility for you that you can pass onto your customers.
Process Flow:
With the Vessel Clearing Tool, you have instant and fully updated access to everything you need to know about vessels that visit your terminal. Vessel and terminal characteristics are matched to determine ship/terminal compatibility, including product compatibility. You can even check if the vessel has been sanctioned or blacklisted.

To implement the Vessel Clearing Tool, Terminal Operators simply need to provide input on Terminal Restrictions and applicable vetting standards. TankTerminals.com will support this process. The system will be configured with this input. After testing and acceptance, the Vessel Clearing Tool system can be released and used.
Vessels can be checked if any sanctions on the vessel’s owner apply or if the vessel has been at ports that are prohibited. The system can be configured to flag and reject any vessels that have a high sanction risk. Furthermore, the terminal has the option to blacklist vessels, which would also prevent the vessel from being cleared. This will act as a filter to only allow vessels at your terminal that you want to receive.
By automating the clearing process, errors are reduced to an absolute minimum and the process can be done in seconds any time, any place. The process is simple, efficient and completely flexible.
Fully updated clearance functionality and vessel data is always at your fingertips any hour of the day. Completely flexible for you and your customers and a vessel clearance report in just seconds!
