Having a comprehensive, real-time view of port activities and facilities, both water and landside, is a prerequisite for operational excellence. Organizations worldwide use GIS to get this common operational view and improve performance. With the ability to integrate real-time data about vessel movements, weather and tidal changes, land-based transport movements, berth occupancy, and port business systems, ArcGIS provides a location-based platform that gives port operators a port-wide view of all current activity.
