Keeping track of vessels arriving at and sailing from your terminal is not an easy task. You have to deal with frequent changes of plans, while factors like crane availability will significantly affect the capacity of your terminal.
With BAS, the Cosmos Berth Allocation System you can now plan your vessel calls in a convenient and efficient way!
The optimal position for berthing a vessel can be displayed. It is based on input such as date and time of vessel arrival and departure and the allocation of yard space for the containers to be loaded.
The main task of BAS is of course to allocate vessels to a certain berth. Therefore the system gives you a real-time view of the berth, called the Berth Allocation View. This window allows you to add, update and delete vessel berthings. Changes can later be made using the drag-and-drop technique.
Clear overview of all current berths
The Allocation View shows on the horizontal axis the available berths with a clear indication of the bollards and the length of the quay wall. The vertical axis indicates the time and, at the right side, the required number of crane gangs per shift. The grid that is formed using these two axes is used to graphically indicate the vessel call allocation.

The Front View displays an image of the quay at a specific date and time. It includes the quay cranes, both active and inactive.
Optimized positioning
Based on the information of containers to be loaded, BAS will also calculate the approximate driving distance of the terminal equipment. Thus determining the ideal mooring position for each vessel call.
