The system comprises two main modules: the Berthing Aid System (BAS) for measuring berthing speed and meteorological monitoring equipment. It continuously provides data on berthing speed, the distance between the ship and the berth (using laser sensors), and key weather and hydrographic parameters such as wind direction, temperature, humidity, water level, and waves. Ship berthing monitoring is conducted regularly, with meteorological monitoring performed four times daily.

Chu Lai Port plans to further its digital transformation by implementing ePort electronic port software, customs clearance, electronic payments, and PL-COS software for general cargo port operations. These advancements aim to facilitate customer transactions, provide real-time updates on ship and cargo data, and save time and costs, ultimately creating a technological port ecosystem.
