Chane Terminal Le Havre has gone live with UAB-Online in mid June 2026, marking a practical step towards a more structured and reliable pre-arrival process for seagoing operations.
For terminals, pre-arrival coordination is where many delays and avoidable issues start: multiple parties share updates, documents and confirmations, often across email threads and PDFs. That makes it easy for information to be late, duplicated or simply missed. With UAB-Online now in use, stakeholders can work in one shared workflow for the steps that matter most before arrival.
Chane Terminal Le Havre is the largest chemical storage facility in France, operating two terminals in the centre of the Le Havre petrochemical cluster. The site offers multimodal access (rail, road, river, pipelines and sea) and operates five jetties. With 469,000 CBM tank capacity across 170 tanks and a 12.2 m draught, coordination and readiness are essential to keep traffic moving safely and efficiently.
A sea terminal port call can involve many moving parts: the terminal team, vessel crews, agents, surveyors and other stakeholders. Each party needs timely access to the right documents and the same operational facts.
When processes rely heavily on email and attachments, teams often spend time on:
Digitising the pre-arrival workflow helps reduce these friction points. By bringing key steps into one structured process, terminals can improve accuracy, reduce rework, and create clearer handovers between stakeholders.
The go-live focuses on three core elements of the pre-arrival process:
NoR submissions can be handled through UAB-Online so stakeholders have earlier visibility on readiness updates and can align on timing and requirements without relying on separate email chains.
With digital dossiers, stakeholders can work from one shared operational file for each visit. This helps centralise the information needed ahead of arrival and supports more consistent preparation.
Document exchange is now managed through the platform, supporting earlier and more consistent sharing of required documentation. This reduces the risk of missing attachments and makes it easier for stakeholders to confirm they are working from the same information.
For sea terminals, the value of a digital workflow is not a headline feature; it is the cumulative effect on daily execution.
With NoR, dossiers and document exchange handled in one place, stakeholders can:
The outcome is a more predictable pre-arrival process, with fewer errors before arrival and clearer coordination between all parties involved.
By going live with UAB-Online, Chane Terminal Le Havre is digitising key pre-arrival steps for seagoing operations. A shared workflow for NoR, dossiers and document exchange helps stakeholders align earlier, reduce rework and improve readiness before arrival.
