Predictive Job Allocation

Using advanced linear programming and live AIS data, PortTracker predicts exactly when a vessel will arrive at the pilot station and assigns the optimal tugboat to the job, minimizing fuel burn and idle waiting times.

Mathematical Optimization Under the Hood

Our scheduling engine uses GNU MathProg to solve a real linear program — factoring in bollard pull demand, tug substitution, time windows, travel between berths, and duty limits. You can even inspect and edit the optimization model live.

Live Fleet Tracking

Keep an eye on your entire tug fleet in real-time. Know exactly which tugs are currently engaged, which are on standby, and view their precise operational status and speeds directly on the live map.
