IMOS | Berth Scheduling
Bring new efficiency to the berth scheduling process
Streamline berth activity planning and optimize your berth rotation with a visual Gantt chart and unallocated bookings scheduler, complete integration with voyage and cargo activities, and a “Live View” into events at the berth.
Dynamically manage berth cargo sequences and activity planning
The IMOS Platform’s Berth Scheduling module empowers dock schedulers and operators to more efficiently move equipment through the berth and reduce demurrage with a simple visual workspace in which teams can manage current port activities by cargo and plan forward cargo lineup.
With IMOS Berth Scheduling, you can:
Simplify berth scheduling with an intuitive, interactive workspace
Mitigate demurrage expenses by optimizing berth planning
Maintain complete visibility over berth activities
Eliminate guesswork from handling timelines with integrated activities
Uphold business continuity by automatically updating other parts of your workflow
What can IMOS Berth Scheduling help you achieve?
Keep things moving at the berth
Gantt Chart
Visualize your berth scheduling operation
The Gantt Chart enables you to visualize current and planned berth activities at various berths within a given terminal while easily adding new cargoes. Efficiently manage all activities with an interactive, drag-and-drop interface, warnings and restrictions for vessel type and cargo, and a separate schedule for unallocated bookings.
Voyage & Cargo Activities
Standardize berth planning and eliminate guesswork
IMOS Berth Scheduling includes complete integration with voyage and cargo activities to standardize berth planning and scheduling, eliminate the guesswork from handling timelines, mitigate demurrage exposure, and maximize visibility to potential claims.
Workflow Integration
Automate your internal workflows
By continually updating with the latest operational data from other modules, IMOS Berth Scheduling gives your team a real-time view of critical information and enables them to actualize planned events that automatically update laytime calculations and forward voyage tracking.
“Effective berth scheduling and rotation requires precise balance of many intricate variables, but the vast majority of berth schedulers and marine planners are currently trying to manage these variables through manual processes. IMOS Berth Scheduling addresses this problem with a digital solution.”

Frequently asked questions on IMOS Berth Scheduling
The IMOS Berth Scheduling module is a berth planning and activity management solution that enables teams to schedule, visualize, and optimize berth operations. It provides a simple, interactive workspace to manage cargo lineups, vessel movements, and berth rotations — helping organizations reduce demurrage and improve operational efficiency.
IMOS Berth Scheduling is used by berth schedulers, dock operators, marine planners, and logistics teams responsible for managing vessel traffic at terminals. These users rely on the module to coordinate berth activity, plan cargo handling operations, and maintain visibility into vessel and cargo movements across the port.
Berth scheduling is often managed through manual tools, making it difficult to coordinate cargo sequences and vessel rotations. IMOS Berth Scheduling solves this by centralizing berth planning in a visual workspace, improving visibility, reducing errors, and helping teams optimize berth utilization while minimizing costly demurrage.
IMOS Berth Scheduling reduces demurrage by optimizing berth planning and cargo sequencing. With real-time visibility into vessel positions, cargo activity, and berth availability, teams can anticipate delays, adjust schedules proactively, and ensure efficient berth rotation — one of the key drivers of demurrage costs.
IMOS Berth Scheduling provides a visual, Gantt-style workspace where users can plan and manage berth activity. Teams can allocate bookings, adjust timelines, and manage cargo sequences using a drag-and-drop interface, with separate views for allocated and unallocated bookings to support forward planning.
IMOS Berth Scheduling is fully integrated with voyage and cargo activities, allowing berth plans to reflect real-time operational data. As berth events are updated, they automatically flow into voyage tracking, laytime calculations, and downstream workflows — eliminating duplicate data entry and ensuring consistency.
IMOS Berth Scheduling is natively connected to IMOS, ensuring berth activity is aligned with contracts, voyage execution, and financial outcomes. This connection creates a single source of truth across port operations and the broader commercial workflow.
