Automated Vessel Schedule Updates via Excel

PortPulse allows you to receive the latest vessel schedules directly in your Excel files. Just register your email, send a spreadsheet, and we’ll take care of the rest—automatically enriching your file with updated Estimated Times of Arrival (ETA) and Departure (ETD).

Step 1: Register Your Email

To protect against spam and bots, only registered email addresses are allowed to use the service. Please register the email you plan to send reports from using the form below:

Step 2: Confirm Your Email

After registering, you’ll receive a confirmation email. Click the link inside to verify your email address. Once confirmed, you’re ready to begin.

Step 3: Prepare Your Excel File

You can include any number of columns in your spreadsheet. However, to process your request correctly, your Excel file must include:

• Vessel Column – containing the vessel name
• Port Column – using standard short port abbreviations (e.g., FXT for Felixstowe)

Column names can vary. We try to detect based on common labels such as:

• Vessel, vessel, mother vessel, main vessel
• Port, port, Port of discharge

Step 4: Send Your File

Once your file is ready, send it as an email attachment to:

Email: [email protected]

Make sure the email is sent from your registered address, or it will be ignored.

Step 5: Receive the Updated File

You’ll receive a reply email shortly after, containing your original Excel file enhanced with two new columns:

• eta_updated – Updated Estimated Time of Arrival
• etd_updated – Updated Estimated Time of Departure

Your Data is Safe

Once your file is processed, both the original email and its attachments are permanently deleted. We take data security seriously and ensure full confidentiality.
