Nautical services planning,
built around your port.
02
Plan around reality.
Balance vessel size, resource availability, pilot logistics, weather and congestion in the schedule.
03
Keep services moving.
Adapt resource allocation as needs change, helping reduce idle time, bottlenecks and delays.

Working together.
Connect marine services planning with marineM Berth Planner to align berth allocations and nautical resource schedules. Streamline coordination between the space a vessel needs and the services that move it.
For example, when a berth window moves later, review the pilot, tug and supporting boat slots needed for the revised movement. A change in tug availability can also prompt a review of berth timing. Marine Services Planner and Berth Planner help teams consider the two plans together.

05 / FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your marine services planning questions, answered.
What does marine services planning cover?
Marine services planning coordinates the nautical resources needed for vessel movements. marineM Marine Services Planner brings pilots, tugs, pilot boats, mooring teams and line boats into a shared schedule, helping planners see the services behind an arrival, departure or other marine operation.
Which inputs can Marine Services Planner consider?
Marine Services Planner can consider vessel size, resource availability, pilot logistics, weather and congestion. These inputs help planners allocate resources around operational constraints. The specific rules and data sources needed for your port should be reviewed when defining the solution scope.
How does a berth-time change affect the service plan?
A changed berth window can alter when pilots, tugs and supporting boats are needed. Marine Services Planner connects with Berth Planner so teams can review berth timing and nautical resource schedules together. Planners can assess the revised requirements and adjust the supporting plan as availability changes.
Can changes in service availability affect berth planning?
Yes. The connected planning example shows a later tug slot informing a review of berth timing and the supporting service plan. Looking at resource availability alongside berth windows helps planners consider a workable movement time, rather than treating the two schedules separately.
How do PilotCommand and TugCommand work with Marine Services Planner?
Marine Services Planner coordinates pilots, tugs and supporting nautical resources. marineM PilotCommand includes add-on modules for Pilotage Orders and Billing that work with Marine Services Planner. marineM TugCommand includes add-on modules for Towage Orders and Billing that work with Marine Services Planner. Together, these support the full workflow from orders and approvals through planning, dispatch, job updates and billing.
Can it support operations beyond berthing and unberthing?
Marine Services Planner supports planning resources for Single Point Mooring and Ship-to-Ship transfers, as well as arrivals and departures. Discuss the stages, resource needs and constraints of your operation in a demonstration to establish how the plan should be configured.
