  2. Reduced Vessel Delays: A berthing schedule helps to minimize vessel delays, which can have a ripple effect on the entire supply chain. By allocating a specific berth and time slot for each vessel, the terminal can ensure that vessels are handled promptly and efficiently.
  3. Improved Cargo Handling: A berthing schedule allows cargo handlers to plan their operations in advance, ensuring that cargo is handled and cleared in a timely manner. This reduces dwell times, lowers storage costs, and improves overall cargo throughput.
  4. Enhanced Supply Chain Visibility: A CITPL vessel berthing schedule provides stakeholders with real-time visibility into vessel movements, enabling them to plan and adjust their logistics operations accordingly.

For charterers and cargo owners, a delay of 12 hours on the CITPL schedule can translate to $10,000+ in additional vessel hire costs.
