UAB online, the industry-leading platform for digital pre-arrival vessel visits and terminal operations, is proud to announce a major milestone: Since moving to the cloud in 2015, the platform has processed more than 1 million vessel visits.
UAB-Online creates a dedicated online file for every vessel visit. Within an online file a user can generate, share and sign documents like SSSCL (part of the ISGOTT 6), Operational Arrangements, terminal specific documents, DOS, DOI, ADN, CDNI, and VOW. Furthermore it creates a to-do list for the user.
The remarkable achievement of these 1 million vessel visits in the UAB-Online platform is backed by a growing global network of 80+ terminals and 10,000+ active users worldwide.
“Reaching 1 million vessel visits is more than a number, it marks our transition from an announcement platform to a global industry standard,” said Hans Bobeldijk , CEO of UAB-Online. “It’s a proud moment for our team, users and partners. This success shows that the industry is embracing digitalisation at scale, and UAB-Online is at the heart of that transformation. From just a few terminals in the Benelux to now over more than 80 terminals worldwide, we’ve proven that efficiency, safety and compliance can go hand in hand with innovation and digitalisation.”

For every vessel visit a dedicated online file is created on the UAB-Online platform. Allowing users to generate, share and sign regulatory documents like SSSCL (part of the ISGOTT 6), Operational Arrangements, terminal specific documents, DOS, DOI, ADN, CDNI, and VOW with other maritime stakeholders. Furthermore, this also streamlines the workflow by automatically creating a clear, structured task list, ensuring that all required actions are tracked and completed.
Today, UAB-Online stands as a unifying platform for terminals, vessels, agents, traders and surveyors to ensure digital collaboration, regulatory compliance, and optimised port call operations all to improve operational excellence.
In an industry embracing digitalisation to enhance safety, compliance and operational excellence, UAB-Online provides a cloud-based platform that supports terminals in optimising their operations. The platform enables a more effective execution of terminal operations by allowing operations to be prepared in advance. This reduces manual processes and contributes to smoother coordination across stakeholders, ensuring higher success rates in achieving Just-In-Time (JIT) arrivals. As a result, operational delays of up to 90 minutes per vessel can be minimised, significantly lowering demurrage costs. Furthermore, by enabling effective planning, UAB-Online ensures smoother and more effective execution of operations at terminals.
“This milestone of 1 million visits is just the beginning,” added Hans Bobeldijk. “Our goal is to help every terminal in the world eliminate delays, reduce emissions, and gain full control over their operations, while delivering outstanding customer satisfaction and operational excellence.”
