HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PortVision®, a leading provider of business intelligence solutions for the maritime industry, today announced that it has signed a three-year agreement with Sunoco Logistics to provide the company with its TerminalSmart™ platform, which integrates dock management, scheduling, reporting and analytics with the PortVision Automatic Identification System (AIS)-based vessel tracking services.

"PortVision's TerminalSmart platform is expected to bring important capabilities to our business operations," said Dave Chalson, Sunoco Logistics' vice president of operations. "It is anticipated that this product will help our marine transportation managers improve scheduling, vetting, logistics, loss control and demurrage management, and streamline and enhance activities associated with front-line dock activities and dock management." Sunoco Logistics will be deploying the TerminalSmart platform at multiple terminals throughout the U.S.

"We are pleased that Sunoco has selected TerminalSmart for its busy U.S. terminal operations," said Dean Rosenberg, PortVision chief executive officer.
