spend less time checking scattered advisories
Portwatch brings changes at your selected ports and airports into twice-daily emails. Start with the “since your last email” panel to see which facility or booking status has moved. Then open the dated source behind an update to check the detail that matters to your route.
Choose the Gulf gateways your team uses and keep a focused watchlist. Reports gather public notices and carrier advisories into a review you can share with colleagues. The aim is to make a relevant change easier to find before you confirm a booking or update a customer.
Illustrative advisory states
focus the morning review
Choose a sample facility view. The wording shows how monitoring can separate a fresh notice from an unchanged source. It does not describe a current real-world status.
Sample update: a new dated advisory is available for Jebel Ali. Open the original notice and confirm any booking impact with the carrier.
monitor first, then confirm
Portwatch can highlight status wording, booking notices and other changes found in selected public sources. The source and date travel with the update. This makes it easier to pass evidence to a colleague and to decide what needs a direct check.
where people stay in charge
An advisory can be incomplete, delayed or narrower than your shipment. Before rerouting, holding freight or making a commitment to a customer, confirm the restriction and its effect with the relevant carrier, terminal or authority.
Open Portwatch or use the port congestion decision guide.
