Algeciras Port achieves shorter idle times through PortXchange pilot

The Port of Algeciras aims to optimise port calls and thereby reduce emissions through a pilot project of the PortXchange platform.

Ultimately the project, which is run in collaboration with Maersk Line, APM Terminals (APMT) and PortXchange, hopes to improve the end-to-end port call process including just-in-time arrivals.

The pilot has run for approximately six weeks and has resulted in improvements in idle time on departure and arrival of Maersk vessels.
