A team that knows the waterfront

Portater builds and looks after operations software for ports, terminals and harbour authorities. We started in 2011 with a simple belief: the people who run the quay deserve tools as dependable as the cranes and tugs they work alongside.

Today we support more than thirty ports and terminals across the country, from single-berth harbours to regional container operations, with berth planning, gate control and yard management brought into one place.

How we work

We’re a small, focused team in Southampton. We fit alongside the systems you already run rather than replacing everything at once, and we stay close to operations long after go-live.

• Practical software, looked after properly
• Deployed alongside your existing systems
• UK-based support that understands port operations
