Port Schedule Management System











The intention of this project is to design and develop a web based enterprise solution in order to automate several vessel scheduling tasks, currently being carried out manually. This system will be able to appoint schedules to incoming ships, and track schedule time and dates in order to efficiently track all events within Jebel Ali Port. Vessel information, position, orientation and all other related aspects will be fully managed by the web application. The web application will be user friendly and use GUI heavily in order to depict the port and schedule situation clearly to the users.


Assumptions
· User will enter information manually or with help of GUI components
· User will update system manually
· System will support up to 50-100 users
· Only one schedule operator can be logged on at a time
· Previous schedules meaning schedules from previous weeks will only be read-only not editable








Value
· Password & Encryption Protected
· Viewable anywhere with internet access
· Operates anywhere within Jebel Ali Port
· Easier to schedule vessels and related components using one system that takes into account all aspects of the vessel and port management rather using many unrelated systems in order to desired outcome.
· Can later to integrated with mobile technology to even offer more value and flexibility of use.
· Real time alerts via e-mail & possibly SMS
