  In the intricate world of maritime logistics, even minor inefficiencies can accumulate, leading to significant time losses and increased operational costs. Addressing these small inefficiencies is crucial, as optimizing port operations can lead to substantial time savings and enhanced overall efficiency. For instance, a study by UCL and UMAS found that optimizing port arrivals to account for congestion and waiting times could reduce voyage emissions by up to 25% for certain vessel types, highlighting the impact of efficient port operations on both time and environmental factors. PortPal, a ship agency software designed by port agents for port agents, offers a comprehensive solution to tackle these inefficiencies.
