Gate & Gantry Vision

ContainerVision™ (PortViT-ISO-v4): ISO Seal Integrity & IICL-6 Damage Triage

Shipping lines routinely withhold hundreds of thousands of Naira per container in disputed repair charges because manual paper Equipment Interchange Receipts (EIR) miss pre-existing vessel damage. ContainerVision™ scans every box in < 350ms.

IICL-6 Stereo-Depth Damage Grading: Measures corrugated panel dents, corner-casting deformation, and roof bows to the millimeter against official IICL-6 repair thresholds.
Rust-Oxidation Age Forensics: Spectral colorimetry distinguishes fresh terminal handling scrapes from >45-day marine salt-water oxidation so importers never pay for old vessel damage.
ISO 6346 & ISO 17712 Bolt Seal OCR: Reads container serials, size/type codes, and high-security bolt seal numbers automatically at gate-in and barge transfer.

Customs & Demurrage AI

TariffSentinel™ (HSCode-Transformer-v3): Neural PAAR & NICIS II Pre-Clearance

A single misclassified HS tariff sub-heading or valuation discrepancy between Form M, PAAR, and the commercial invoice triggers Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) Demand Notices and weeks of punitive port demurrage.

10-Digit ECOWAS CET Classification: Parses complex engineering, chemical, and agro-machinery invoices into exact WCO 2022 and ECOWAS Common External Tariff codes.
Pre-Arrival PAAR & Form M Cross-Audit: Flags weight, quantity, and FOB/CIF valuation variances 72 hours before vessel berthing so amendments occur before NICIS II lock.
Regulatory Agency Exemption Mapping: Automatically verifies SONCAP, NAFDAC, and Oil & Gas Free-Zone duty waiver eligibility to unlock Green-Channel exit.

Maritime Financial Custody

TerminalEscrow™: Multi-Currency Container Deposit Refunds & Barge Settlement

Importers and freight forwarders wait 60 to 90 days to recover container caution deposits from shipping lines while suffering opaque cash leakage across tug, barge, and haulage contractors.

Tug, Barge & Haulage Milestone Escrow: Locks freight payments until GPS AIS transponder and gate-in OCR confirm safe container arrival at the bonded terminal or inland dry port.
Verified Clearing Agent Disbursements: Separates statutory NCS duty remittances from agency handling fees with zero audit discrepancies.

Yard & Berth Telemetry

BerthYield™: Predictive Yard Stacking & Truck Call-Up Slot Optimization

Uncoordinated truck arrivals and blind container stacking force terminal reach-stackers to perform up to 4 unproductive "re-marshalling" moves to retrieve a single bottom-tier container.

Zero-Rehandle Yard Stacking: Uses customs clearance probability and scheduled truck e-Call-Up timestamps to stack earliest-departing containers on top tiers.
Navis N4 & UN/EDIFACT Sync: Exchanges real-time BAPLIE, CODECO, and COARRI EDI messages with shipping lines and terminal operating systems.
Reefer Power & PTI Monitoring: Continuously tracks refrigerated export container temperatures (cocoa, sesame, hibiscus, pharmaceuticals) across yard plugs.
