Port Transfer

About Port Transfer

Port Transfer is a service for the orchestration of transport an port areas. Actors in the transport chain can contribute to a better design of the supply chain through the joint digitalization and optimization of container transfers. This promises not only a reduction of transport costs but also a considerable relief of the port area as well as the peripheral road traffic network and thus a significant reduction of CO2 and noise emissions.

Essential Features
