The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have unveiled new features to its ''Port Optimizer'', the nation's first and only port community system that allows shippers, cargo owners, terminal operators and others to better predict and plan cargo at the busiest trade gateway in the U.S.
Through the partnership with Wabtec Corporation and GeoStamp, stakeholders now have a single view that offers real-time and historical truck turn times for all 12 container terminals in the San Pedro Bay port complex. For Port of Los Angeles container terminals, average dwell times for both trucks and on-dock rail are also available.
The Port Optimizer Control Tower is the primary dashboard to access all the new features. Register at https://tower.portoptimizer.com. When logging into the Control Tower, users will find the following data:
- Signal provides a daily look at cargo coming into Los Angeles, displaying projected volumes three weeks out.
- Horizon forecasts cargo movement up to six months in advance and gauges movement of containers, including imports, exports and empties.
- Volumes offer historical containerized volumes by terminal, shipping line and vessel, in addition to trending volumes by terminal, service and vessel.
- Turn Times offer real-time port-level views of San Pedro Bay truck turn times by terminal.
- Days After Discharge shows real-time totals of the number of containers discharged from vessels and currently on the terminal.
- Return Signal lets truckers know when and where to return empty containers to cargo terminals throughout the port complex.
