Posidonia Management is a Port Management Information System (PMIS), aimed at the improvement of efficiency in service management supplied by a Port Authority. Its design and construction have been made possible thanks to years of experience, innovation and a firm commitment to using the latest technology. Posidonia Management is a system used by several ports and is continually improving and evolving, thus enabling us to offer made to measure solutions to every client’s demands and needs. The customization of its well defined structure is one of the system’s biggest strengths.
Posidonia Management covers the most of port services, allowing to manage the full life cycle for vessels visits and berthing, integrating external agents requests and EDI interchanges. It manages the cargo declarations and integration with customs and inspection services. All taxable services are billed with a high level of customization depending on users needs like internationationalization, rules, manual or automatic generation, customers different levels of data aggregation, simulation, etc.

Posidonia Operations is an Integrated Port Operation Management System highly customizable and allows a port to optimize its maritime operational activities related to the flow of vessels in the port service area, integrating all the relevant stakeholders and computer systems.
It has been designed to meet all the phases of vessel traffic:
· Request
· Berth Planning
· Authorization
· Port approach
· Entry in port’s service area
· Berthing
· Unberthing
· Berth change
· Anchorage start
· Anchorage finish
· Bunkering
· Exit from port
· Waypoint/zone pass-through control (entrance, channel,..)
· etc.
Posidonia Operations is a real-time platform able to connect to AIS (Automatic Identification System), VTS (Vessel Traffic System) or radar, and automatically detect vessel operational events like port arrival, berthing, unberthing, bunkering operations, tugging, etc. comprising a modern VTMIS (Vessel Traffic Management Information System).
It also allows to manage the maritime operations, to control related services like pilots, tugboats, moorers, other services, etc. and to integrate all the information from and towards the PMS (Port Management System) and the PCS (Port Community System).
Posidonia Operations may run under different operation modes: Manual mode, assisted mode and automatic mode depending on port conditions and procedures. With Posidonia Operations a single environment for controlling vessel operations is available, thus avoiding multiple screens with different applications which make it difficult to monitor port operations.
Posidonia Operations integrates with the rest of Posidonia Port Solution Suite in a seamless way to make up a full-fledged solution for managing a port.
It is a modern Graphical User Interface (GUI) created for CHE (Container Handling Equipment) operators in their Vehicle Mounted Terminals to make their work easier and error prone, by means of automation and decision helpers. The benefits and capabilties of such solution generates more eficiency and productivity to the terminal operation.
With this practical tool we are able to identify problems and alert the CHE operator to act accordingly. Its main features are:
Posidonia CHEGUI adds value to terminals:
This tool is one of the best ways to enhace the TOS of a terminal, by means of automation that adds value not only to the operator quality of work but to the productivity of the terminal itself.
Posidonia Terminal Fleet Management is a system that allows Terminal Management to have a realtime picture of TT (Terminal Tractor) and STS (Sea to Shore Crane) locations. This graphical view also displays the activity being performed by each TT, their origin and destination for the current work instruction, allowing the Control Room staff members to quickly identify any potential bottleneck, idle TT´s location, queues or how long a TT can take to reach to its destination.
Every TT is equipped with an Iot Gateway which gather, among other signals, GPS location. These locations are being updated and sent every second to a central stream processor to have the fleet location permanently up to date.
Some of the main features of the system are:
Posdionia Advanced Fleet Management add value to terminals.
For a non-automated terminal, the path to improve efficiency and safety is not only automating CHE and reducing labour cost. Making things easier and simpler for the CHE operators and automating non added value tasks, will provide efficiency and safety improvements at an affordable cost.
Less manual and non-added value interactions mean safer operations for the drivers, less mistakes in the operations and less time reporting to the TOS, which all lead to an increase of efficiency and safety in the operations at the terminal.
Port Collaborative Decision Making product (Posidonia PortCDM) is a solution which allows port management to optimize Port Calls through the promotion of a common understanding and data sharing among all parties involved to improve operational coordination and to make the maritime supply chain greener due to a reduction of fuel consumption and unnecessary waiting times. Some of the most relevant features of the soltuion are:
The collaborative data sharing is essential and will improve the operational excellence of Ports, as well as the quality of the service(s) they bring, while increasing the competitiveness and reliability.
