   Companies use harbor operations software to manage port and harbor facilities and services. This type of software is used by harbormasters to ensure the safety of navigation for any vessel using the port. Administrative personnel uses harbor operations to keep track of organizational aspects such as inbound and outbound traffic, terminals and cargo operations, and facility management. Harbor operations software helps harbor operations companies optimize the human and material resources required to deliver nautical services in a safe and efficient manner.

Even though basic maintenance features are provided by most solutions, integration with [CMMS](https://www.g2.com/categories/cmms) and [EAM](https://www.g2.com/categories/enterprise-asset-management-eam) solutions often is also offered. When financial tools are not included in the solution, integration with [accounting](https://www.g2.com/categories/accounting) and [billing](https://www.g2.com/categories/billing) software is required to process bills and payments.

To qualify for inclusion in the Harbor Operations category, a product must:

- Automate tariff management for nautical technical services, or terminals and cargo operations
- Schedule personnel and equipment for harbor repairs and maintenance
- Provide users information on problems that may affect safe navigation
- Include forms, documents, and audits for compliance with safety regulations
- Track different types of boats and ships, as well as their passengers or cargo
- Assist harbormasters with information on navigation, which can be shared with ships
- Maintain schematics and plans of the barbor including navigational channels
