Vessel Systems --> Freight Distribution and Logistics Center:
vessel berth estimated time of arrival

Definitions

vessel berth estimated time of arrival (Information Flow): The approximate time that a vessel is expected to arrive at its berth in the destination port.

Vessel Systems (Source Physical Object): 'Vessel Systems' resides on a vessel and provides the processing, storage, and communications functions that support vessel operations. A vessel is a general classification of maritime vehicles that includes ships, barges, and boats. In ARC-IT we are focused on vessels that provide marine transport of cargo, including containerized cargo, bulk cargo, and vehicles.

Freight Distribution and Logistics Center (Destination Physical Object): The 'Freight Distribution and Logistics Center' provides intermodal logistics support and support for the efficient distribution of freight across transport systems and modes. This can include consolidation arrangements, warehousing, information sharing systems, and consignor-to-consignee intermodal shipping arrangements. These capabilities may be provided as part of intermodal fleet management activities or can be provided by an independent logistics specialist.

These systems may also include centralized platforms that coordinate vessel operations, cargo documentation, ground transport reservations, and operational information exchange among vessels, terminals, cargo owners, transport operators, and other port stakeholders to support efficient and coordinated port and intermodal freight operations.
