VSR by Terminal - Vessel Schedule Report

Know what changed at your terminals. Every day.

VSR gives you a daily view of ERD and CY cutoff movement across the terminals you select. No carrier site checks. No terminal PDFs. No spreadsheets.

Used by U.S. exporters and drayage teams across West Coast, Gulf, and East Coast ports.

Every day, teams check the same sites, download the same PDFs, and update the same spreadsheets, only to find out something changed after the decision was made.

  • ERDs move overnightTerminal updates its receiving date. No alert. No notification. You find out when you check the PDF tomorrow morning.
  • CY cutoffs shift mid-weekThe deadline moved. Your plan did not.
  • Carriers and terminals disagreeTwo sources, two answers. No way to know which one holds without calling.
  • Vessel overlap creates terminal pressureMultiple vessels open at the same terminal simultaneously. Gates stack. Capacity compresses.

VSR by Terminal shows what changed. For the terminals you select.

Six capabilities. One report. The morning ritual disappears.

Capability 01

Delta-only reporting

What moved since the last review, not the full republished schedule. Your team reads what changed, not what is the same.

Capability 02

Per-terminal, cadence-native delivery

Timed to each terminal's update window. Multi-cadence for drayage: 7:30 AM, 10 AM, 3 PM, or customer-configured. Weekend-gap detection on Monday.

Capability 03

Verified Windows

Fuses carrier and terminal signals into a single confidence-scored view. Flags conflicts before commitment, not after.

Capability 04

Previous-port AIS signal integration

Closes the carrier-office data lag. When the carrier feed contradicts what AIS shows, the AIS signal updates the window before the carrier does.

Capability 05

Timestamped snapshots

Captured automatically. Terminal-source. Retained for per-diem and demurrage dispute defense. Replaces the daily screenshot folder.

Capability 06

Booking-quantity decrement detection

Surfaces when a carrier silently reduces the number of containers on a booking. The drayage shop sees the decrement before dispatch instead of at the gate.

Same terminal. Same week. Four different outcomes.

Four vessels at Garden City Terminal, week of March 15. Four different behaviors. One planning rule will not cover all of them.

Garden City Terminal Savannah / Week of March 15
Vessel ERD Shift CY Cut Shift Outcome
MSC VANESSA +2 days +3 days Late expansion
EVER LIVING 0 days 0 days Stable
CMA CGM TIGRIS -1 day +2 days Mixed
HMM OSLO +1 day -2 days Mixed

Same terminal. Different behavior. One planning rule will not cover all of them.

Who uses VSR

Same report. Two different decisions it enables.

Exporters

Stop asking "did anything change," because you can see it.

VSR gives your export team a daily view of window movement across the terminals your vessels call. Plan adjustments happen when there is still time to make them.

  • Morning report shows overnight movement
  • Carrier-terminal conflicts flagged before commitment
  • Shared across your entire operations team
  • Connects to Ava when decisions depend on more than visibility
Drayage Providers

Verify the window before the truck moves.

VSR shows terminal-level ERD and CY cutoff state before dispatch decisions are made. Gate attempts only happen when the window is verified open.

  • Terminal-level view, not carrier-aggregated
  • Vessel overlap visibility at your terminals
  • Daily report for dispatch team
  • Connects to Safe-to-Gate when confidence needs to be higher

VSR shows what changed. Ava tells you when the plan no longer holds.

Signal is where you start. It is not where the problem ends.

When a window changes, VSR shows it. But it does not answer whether your specific booking is still safe to commit, or whether the truck should move. That is what Ava does. Ava takes the signal VSR surfaces and evaluates it against your booking, the terminal's historical behavior, and the current volatility pattern, with a record of what you knew when you decided.
