In development for Northern European port calls
Port call requirements, verified.
MoorReady tells ship operators and agents which requirements, documents and deadlines apply to a specific call: this vessel, this cargo, this port and terminal. Every item carries the official source, the clause and the date it was last checked, so a requirement can be shown rather than remembered.
Rules are spread out
EU, national, port and terminal requirements live in different places, change without notice and are rarely written for the call you are planning.
Deadlines depend on the voyage
"24 hours before arrival" becomes "on departure" for short voyages. Getting it right for every call takes time that operations teams do not have.
Lists look complete when they are not
A checklist rarely tells you what nobody has verified. That is where surprises at the terminal come from.
Rules change under a fixed route
The ship that calls the same port every week stops checking. That is when a moved deadline or a renumbered regulation bites.
The costly mistakes are small ones
A notification past its deadline, a pilot order changed late, one tug too many or too few. None of it dramatic, all of it billable.
Knowledge sits with one person
The colleague who knows the port by heart is on leave, or retiring. What they know is not written down anywhere you can point to.
How MoorReady works
-
Describe the call
Vessel, cargo including dangerous goods, previous port, ETA, port and terminal.
-
Get the requirements that apply
Each requirement comes with its deadline calculated for your voyage, the submission channel, the legal basis and a confidence level.
-
See what is still uncertain
If a requirement depends on something unknown, such as a dangerous goods declaration or a ship's risk profile, MoorReady says so and asks the one question that settles it.
-
Stay current
Official sources are monitored, and changes that affect your planned calls are flagged.
What an answer looks like
- Due
- 1 Oct 16:00 CEST, on departure from the previous port (voyage shorter than 24 hours)
- Channel
- National maritime single window
- Source
- Directive (EU) 2019/883, Article 6(1)
- Confidence
- Shown for every item, with the date it was last checked
Illustrative example for a fictional product tanker calling Göteborg.
Why the source matters
Every requirement in MoorReady carries the regulation, the clause, the date we last read it and how it was checked. Three findings from our first weeks on Swedish ports show what that catches.
-
A repealed regulation still online
Pilot ordering rules were renumbered twice, while the old PDF stayed on the authority's website, unchanged. Anyone who bookmarked it is still reading a regulation that no longer applies. MoorReady checks the number against the authority's own list of regulations in force, not only the document.
-
Two official pages that disagree
The Swedish and English versions of the same official page set different deadweight thresholds for when a port needs three tugs instead of two. A ship between the two figures gets a different answer depending on which language the agent reads. MoorReady shows the conflict and the question that settles it instead of guessing.
-
A rule that needed an answer in writing
Whether a port's escort tug rule also covered gas carriers was not clear from the text. The port's control centre answered by email. That answer is now the source behind the requirement, with its date, instead of somebody's recollection.
What it is worth, by role
Owners and managers
Fewer surprises that cost lay time, and port knowledge that lives in the system rather than in one experienced head. An audit trail when a decision is questioned later.
Operations and chartering
One list per call instead of six websites and an old spreadsheet. What is uncertain is marked uncertain, with the single question that resolves it.
Masters and officers
Times in port local time, the channel for each notification, and a list that can be ticked off as started or done and saved as a PDF.
Superintendents
Certificates and port State control in the same list as the notifications, each with the clause behind it.
Agents
The same picture as the ship and the owner's office, and a watch on the rules in the ports you cover.
Information security
No crew personal data. Sources are the authorities' and ports' own texts, linked to the original. What you tick off stays in your own browser. Suppliers in the EU.
See it for a real port
Göteborg, Brofjorden, Lysekil and Sköldvik are in the knowledge base today. Describe a call, and you get the requirements in time order with the deadline calculated for that voyage, the submission channel, the official source, and the questions that would settle what is still uncertain. The requirements are drafts until a person has verified them, and the page says which ones have been.
Open the demoTry it on a call of your own
Tell us about your calls and we prepare the requirement list for one of them, free of charge, with the source and the date behind every item. In return we ask what was wrong, what was missing and what was unnecessary. Seven questions, about two minutes.
