Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about port rostering

Port rosters are specialised schedules designed for maritime and port operations where staffing must adapt to vessel arrivals, tide schedules, and 24/7 operational demands. They're used for managing shift workers across cargo handling, stevedoring, crane operations, and vessel services. These rosters must balance operational efficiency with worker safety, regulatory compliance, and fair distribution of premium shifts.

AI automates the complex task of balancing fairness over extended periods with operational flexibility. In port operations where fairness in distributing premium shifts, night work, and weekend duties is critical, AI ensures equitable distribution while accommodating last minute changes. When operational demands and vessel schedules change, AI-powered re-rostering adjusts specific periods while automatically maintaining overall fairness. This transforms a process that would take days of manual work into minutes, while ensuring transparency and team morale.
