Port Infrastructure Data for Crane Service and Terminal Planning

A ship-to-shore crane carries decades of maintenance spending. A 2023 public cost model from Papua New Guinea’s competition regulator assumes a 25-year economic life and annual maintenance equal to 2% of acquisition cost. In that historical model, 25 × 2% gives lifetime maintenance spending equal to 50% of the original equipment cost, before discounting.

The aftermarket question is how much of that installed equipment your service book reaches. Count the cranes with a current technical record and a buying contact in your system. Then compare that count with the equipment inside the territory you can support. A port name on a sales spreadsheet does not tell an account manager which machines sit behind each terminal gate.

Asset Search by PorchRocket builds that missing inventory from aerial and satellite imagery cross-referenced with property records and public datasets. People review the candidates. Your technical team defines which visible assets qualify, so a regional crane search can return the installations worth a service conversation along with the evidence an engineer needs to decide where to investigate next.

Which port assets can you inventory from imagery?

Start with ship-to-shore cranes and the associated yard equipment, then define the evidence needed to distinguish each asset class across the terminal.

A crane service team needs individual equipment candidates. A paving estimator needs yard boundaries and operating contacts. Give those teams separate acceptance rules even when they are looking at the same waterfront.

The EPA’s cargo handling equipment guidance distinguishes ship-to-shore cranes, rubber-tired and rail-mounted gantry cranes, yard trucks and container handlers. Use those classes to organize the equipment register. The following table is a starting specification for the search, with the commercial question attached to each find.

Asset class	What to ask the imagery review to mark	Next decision for the buyer
Ship-to-shore crane	Visible crane position and relationship to quay and crane rails	Request equipment records for the serviceable machine class
Yard gantry crane	Gantry position, working block and visible rail or lane arrangement	Confirm the equipment class before assigning a refurbishment lead
Straddle carrier or container handler	Candidate mobile machine and capture date	Ask the terminal for fleet identity and assigned operating location
Container stacks	Occupied blocks and visible container storage footprint	Select terminals for handling, pavement or storage-layout review
Candidate reefer rows	Container rows and associated visible service structures	Verify refrigerated-container use and electrical service from site records
Berth or quay	Waterfront segment, terminal association and visible structures	Commission the engineering records needed for a berth project
Rail spur and transfer area	Visible tracks, loading areas and connection to the yard	Confirm operating rail access for logistics screening
Warehouse and loading docks	Building footprint and visible dock arrangement	Assign warehouse service or dock-equipment prospecting
Fuel or bulk tank group	Tank locations and their relationship to the terminal	Confirm contents, ownership and applicable service scope
Paved yard and truck staging	Visible pavement boundaries and entrances	Review paving, drainage or truck-parking opportunities

Define the counting unit first. If the sales director expects a list of terminal accounts while the technical reviewer counts individual cranes, the same waterfront can produce two totals that answer different questions and cannot be compared without another pass through the records. Specify the unit in the order.

For a port crane inventory, I would begin with ship-to-shore equipment and yard gantries. Add smaller mobile equipment only after the pilot establishes what the available views can resolve. That keeps the first delivery tied to machines the technical team can qualify.

Who uses port infrastructure data?

Aftermarket leaders, port engineers, terminal operators and logistics teams buy different answers from the same asset evidence, so choose one decision before commissioning a region.

Serviceability comes first. An equipment maker’s service director needs installations that fit the company’s parts or refurbishment capability, within reach of a crew that can perform the work at the margin used to approve the campaign. Ask the technical team which equipment records would qualify the job.

A port engineering team needs a register it can reconcile with its existing asset numbers. Begin with missing installations and disputed locations. Preserve the agency’s asset IDs alongside the search IDs so an engineer investigating a disagreement can open the maintenance history already held by the port and compare it with the dated evidence in the new delivery.

For terminal operations, I would organize the file by working area. Group the quay assets under their terminal. Add yard blocks and transfer areas beneath it, leaving fields for the maintenance manager to enter the responsible department and the shutdown window needed to get a crew onto the equipment.

Logistics site selection starts with location and connections. Ask for yards that fit your operating geography. Before spending time on a visit, have the operator confirm the required rail service and available space, including the entrance your trucks would use and the party authorized to offer commercial terms.

Marine contractors need a defined project question. A berth map can identify where to request plans. A yard expansion observation can justify checking capital documents. Keep the person who authorizes the next investigation attached to the record. The broader asset inventory method explains how to write that decision into the search scope before reviewing the first candidate.

Free port databases and the gaps to fill

USACE, BTS and MARAD provide strong starting material for a 2026 port search, but their records answer different questions and carry different observation dates.

Begin with the public data. Preserve its identifiers and publication dates instead of rebuilding known facilities from scratch. Then write a separate list of fields your service or engineering decision still needs.

Public source	Start here for	Add this to your commissioned review
USACE navigation facilities	Facility locations, operating attributes and waterfront characteristics	Current visible assets within each selected facility
BTS port performance report	Published port-level capacity and throughput context	Individual equipment records tied to terminal accounts
BTS National Transportation Atlas Database	Transport networks and intermodal terminal locations	The yard boundary and transfer activity relevant to your search
MARAD planning toolkit	Project planning, feasibility and financing structure	The field evidence and asset register for your proposed project

USACE gives the search a facility framework

The USACE navigation infrastructure page describes records for nearly 12,000 facilities and other navigation points of interest. Listed attributes include owners and operators, handling equipment, storage information, berthing space and rail or highway access. Some records will already answer parts of your scope.

Retain the facility identifier. When joining an imagery observation to a public record, check which fields are populated for that particular site and whether the underlying information describes the same period as the picture being reviewed. Keep conflicting entries in separate columns until someone reconciles them.

BTS provides a dated capacity baseline

The BTS 2026 annual report reports 583 ship-to-shore gantry cranes at the top 25 container ports in 2025. Table 2 describes verification using websites and port staff in October 2025.

The report includes ports in Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Filter its port group to your service geography before using the count to size a territory. Keep the equipment definition and date attached, then join each observed installation to the terminal responsible for it.

MARAD supports the project decision

The MARAD Port Planning and Investment Toolkit provides planning, feasibility and financing modules, plus a port concession evaluation model. Use that framework when the inventory feeds a proposed improvement. Attach the asset evidence to the project problem being evaluated, such as a yard layout or berth investment.

Preserve disagreements. If a public record and a dated view differ, keep both with a short note explaining the conflict so the person calling the operator can ask about the exact installation instead of requesting a general update on the terminal. Delete neither observation while that question is open.

What belongs in a port asset record?

Every port asset record should connect a location to dated evidence, the responsible site and a reviewed answer that tells the next employee what to do.

A coordinate alone is a starting point. Each Asset Search record attaches the parcel and owner information to dated views, with the observed facts behind the decision. Define the port-specific additions in the pilot. Those can include terminal operator research and links to your existing asset numbers.

Use this record structure to agree on the delivery before the territory search begins.

Field	Entry rule	Why it earns its column
Search asset ID	Stable identifier for the asset or observation	Holds review history across editions
Terminal or site ID	Parent record shared by assets at the same site	Prevents duplicate account assignments
Asset class	Agreed vocabulary, with uncertainty recorded	Routes the find to the right technical reviewer
Location and parcel	Coordinates, parcel reference and mapped geometry as scoped	Connects the observation to property research
Landowner	Sourced identity and record date	Establishes the property relationship
Operator and equipment owner	Separate sourced fields, or unresolved	Identifies who must answer the buying question
Evidence dates	Capture date for each view used	Shows what time period the observation represents
Observed facts	Visible characteristics that decide the search rule	Lets a reviewer check the conclusion
Disposition	Fits, rejects or unresolved	Defines the next work queue
Reason or field check	Rejection reason or one check that resolves uncertainty	Prevents repeated research on the same question
Receiving owner	Assigned sales, engineering or operations role	Gives the record a next action

Separate capture from review. A picture taken before a terminal expansion still describes that earlier site even if a reviewer opens it this morning and the file arrives tomorrow. Retain each supporting view’s capture date alongside the date someone reviewed it.

Every disposition has a job. A fit meets the agreed search rule. A reject says why it fails. For an unresolved record, name the missing fact and the field check that would settle it, allowing the receiving team to assign that work without repeating the search that produced the candidate. All dispositions come back in the delivery.

An equipment class may qualify for prospecting while its exact service scope remains open. Write the acceptance rule accordingly. For example, accept a visible yard gantry at an in-territory terminal for technical outreach, then request the equipment record before quoting a control-system project.

Match the landowner, terminal operator and equipment buyer

Keep the landowner, terminal operator and equipment owner separate, because the person controlling the parcel may not approve the crane service purchase.

The EPA’s explanation of port operations distinguishes operating ports from landlord ports. In its landlord model, the port authority leases wharves to an operator that invests in cargo-handling equipment. That is a reason to verify responsibility at the terminal level before directing outreach.

Begin with the parcel owner and the documented terminal operator. Then ask who owns the identified equipment and who manages its service budget. Keep each answer with its source. One person can cover several roles; the database should still describe the roles separately.

I would use a short qualification request: “We are reviewing service coverage for the crane class shown at this terminal. Who maintains the equipment register, and which department approves outside service work?” Once routed, ask for the equipment record and the vendor qualification process.

Assign one representative per buying account. When six asset observations lead to the same maintenance manager, put them under one terminal record so the representative can discuss the service scope across that equipment without competing calls from colleagues. Then record whether purchasing also covers other sites.

For engineering work, identify who can release drawings and who approves a site visit. For equipment service, identify who can provide the service history. Those are different follow-ups, even when both begin with one crane pin on the map.

The installed base mapping guide develops this equipment-to-account structure for manufacturers. At a port, the extra task is preserving the terminal boundary and operating relationship while joining the asset to the buying account. Leave a disputed operator field unresolved until a source settles it.

How should a port crane inventory be checked?

Review each crane against the agreed equipment class, image date and terminal boundary, then resolve duplicate observations before publishing a territory count.

Keep the pilot small. Include the difficult sites: a dense container terminal with overlapping equipment, for instance, or an inland transfer site where your technical team needs to decide whether the visible machine fits the service scope. Adjust the rules while the sample is manageable.

For each candidate, ask the reviewer to work through four checks:

• Does the visible structure meet the agreed asset definition, or does it need a closer view?
• Is the observation inside the terminal being assigned, with the boundary supported by a record or a stated review decision?
• Have other dates or adjacent views already recorded this equipment?
• Which missing detail would change the acceptance decision?

Count observations cautiously. When a mobile machine appears in different positions across two capture dates and its identity cannot be established, retain separate observations without treating them as two confirmed units in the fleet total. Preserve the asset ID for fixed equipment that remains in the same installation.

Ask your technical reviewer to assess disputed candidates alongside accepted ones. A review of only obvious hits tells you little about the mistakes that could change a territory count. Keep the rejected examples with reasons so the next reviewer applies the same boundary.

Use equipment documents for technical qualification. OSHA section 1917.50(c)(1) requires annual examinations and unit tests every four years for covered cranes and derricks. Under section (g)(1), annual certification is not required within 12 months after required quadrennial certification; section (j) lists equipment exceptions. For a 2026 service campaign, request the operator’s certification records before scheduling the work.

I would approve the wider search after reviewing examples from every disposition and confirming that the receiving team can act on the file. Record the rule version used for that pilot. If the technical team later changes which crane classes it can service, the earlier decisions can be reviewed against the new rule.

What cadence fits port and berth monitoring?

For a 2026 service territory, I would start with quarterly reviews; active projects merit monthly or weekly checks when new imagery is available.

Choose the cadence by the cost of waiting. A regional service director preparing next quarter’s travel needs a different feed from an engineering team watching a specific terminal expansion. Start with the action the change would trigger, then set the reporting schedule.

Decision	Starting cadence I would choose	Change to flag	Follow-up
Refresh a service territory	Quarterly	Added or removed equipment candidates	Reassign technical qualification and account research
Review a long-range asset register	Annual, with a defined update process	Changes to fixed installations or site boundaries	Reconcile against the internal register
Follow an active yard expansion	Monthly or weekly	Cleared ground, new pavement or changed storage blocks	Check project documents and operator plans
Watch an urgent event or installation	Near real time where daily satellite coverage exists	A visible change meeting the agreed alert rule	Send the evidence to the designated response owner

A scheduled report needs a dated observation. Asset Search rechecks sites as new imagery lands and returns before-and-after dates for observed changes. Check whether the view is new. If no suitable new view arrives, carry forward the last observation date with the next review pending, so the receiving team knows when the equipment was last seen.

Berths need careful labels. “No vessel visible on these capture dates” states the observation. Calling a berth idle requires operating evidence beyond those pictures. Ask the terminal or consult the relevant vessel-activity records before assigning an operating status.

Keep geometry and observations separate for a container yard. The yard footprint can remain fixed while the occupied blocks change. A service team may care about a new crane or removed equipment; a logistics team may want a follow-up about changed storage use. Route those notices differently.

For a berth project, use surveys for water depth. NOAA explains that charted depths come from soundings, usually acquired through hydrographic surveys. Attach the relevant survey reference to the engineering file instead of deriving depth from an overhead view.

The asset monitoring guide explains how to define a change worth sending. Give each alert an owner. Write the minimum evidence into the rule so that person knows why the change deserves attention.

The five-year value of one terminal account

A terminal service account producing $86,400 in annual revenue at a 32% gross margin contributes $138,240 over five paid years in the model below.

A regional crane service firm works from a Gulf Coast shop. After matching a reviewed territory search against existing customers and removing duplicates, it accepts 80 terminal accounts whose equipment fits its service capability and whose operating contacts have been researched. Those are the campaign accounts.

Assume two accounts sign and each purchases $86,400 of service and parts annually for five paid years. Hold revenue and margin constant. The 32% gross margin is after all direct delivery costs, including parts and the crew’s operating travel. Replacement projects are excluded. So is unapproved upgrade work.

Account calculation	Arithmetic	Amount
Annual service revenue	Stated account assumption	$86,400
Annual direct service costs	$86,400 × 68%	$58,752
Annual gross profit	$86,400 × 32%	$27,648
Five-year gross profit per account	$27,648 × 5 paid years	$138,240
Two accounts over five years	$138,240 × 2	$276,480

Customer lifetime value, or CLV, measures the gross profit expected from the account across the chosen relationship period. The retention assumption is five paid years. If your renewal history supports only two or three years, reduce the period before using the result to approve a territory search, even when the first year’s service scope looks attractive. These figures are undiscounted. Apply your own discount rate when comparing future years with cash spent now.

Two signed accounts from 80 accepted prospects is a 2.5% account conversion rate. The large result comes from the account’s service value. The search must therefore find sites the company can serve profitably, including the travel and access costs already allowed for in the margin.

Keep service value separate from equipment purchase value. The maintenance spending in the opening public model belongs to the equipment’s owner. A supplier earns only the scope it sells and performs. The example here counts the firm’s own service revenue and direct costs.

For a refurbishment-only seller, replace annual revenue with the quoted project amount and its expected gross margin. Add repeat work only when you can defend its timing and likelihood. The customer lifetime value calculator gives your team a place to test a shorter account life before funding the territory campaign.

A sensitivity check for every accepted find

For 80 accepted terminal accounts, one to three wins produce $1,728 to $5,184 of five-year gross profit per accepted account under the same service assumptions.

These figures spread gross profit across all 80 prospects, including accounts that buy nothing. Subtract acquisition spending before calling that return a profit on the campaign.

Scenario	Accounts won	Accepted-account conversion	Five-year gross profit	Gross profit per accepted account
Low	1 of 80	1.25%	$138,240	$1,728
Base	2 of 80	2.5%	$276,480	$3,456
High	3 of 80	3.75%	$414,720	$5,184

Next, price the staff time. Assume both methods yield the same 80 accepted accounts and sales outcomes. Manual discovery and record assembly take 90 minutes per account; reviewing a delivered record takes 15 minutes. Allow both methods another 36 hours for remote operator and technical qualification, plus 64 hours for outreach and proposal follow-up. The $78 hourly labor assumption includes wages, payroll costs, benefits and allocated supervision.

Campaign task	Build the records internally	Start with reviewed records
Assemble or review 80 records	80 × 1.5 hours = 120 hours	80 × 0.25 hours = 20 hours
Remote qualification	36 hours	36 hours
Outreach and follow-up	64 hours	64 hours
Total staff time	220 hours	120 hours
Staff cost at $78 per hour	$17,160	$9,360

The difference is 100 staff hours, worth $7,800 at the assumed rate. At five staff hours per terminal visit, including travel and preparation, that time supports 20 additional visits. The win scenarios stay unchanged; add visit expenses when you budget the campaign.

Add the scoped Asset Search quote to the $9,360 campaign labor, pre-sale travel and other acquisition expenses. Those extra amounts remain buyer inputs. To calculate customer acquisition cost, or CAC, divide total campaign spending by accounts won, retaining spending on prospects that never bought anything. In the base case, CAC = ($9,360 + quoted search cost + other acquisition expenses) / 2.

Lead-list ROI is gross profit from won accounts minus total acquisition cost, divided by total acquisition cost. Enter the full campaign spend in the lead-list ROI calculator. Judge the low case before approving the larger territory.

My decision rule is to fund the next region only when one won account clears the team’s required return and the service department has room to deliver it. Recheck that rule with fewer paid years and a lower margin. A list of serviceable equipment has value only when the business can reach and serve the corresponding accounts.

Find inland terminals beyond the waterfront

Extend the search inland to rail transfer terminals and storage yards when your service capability applies beyond marine facilities and port boundaries.

The BTS National Transportation Atlas Database includes transportation networks and intermodal terminals, with spatial attributes and dataset metadata. Use those layers to seed an inland search, then check the visible site and the field definitions against the work you sell.

Write the inclusion rule first. A crane service company might accept an inland transfer yard only when gantry equipment is visible, while a pavement contractor reviewing the same area might accept container depots and trailer storage properties regardless of the machines present. Each search needs its own accepted set.

Trace a visible rail connection to the candidate yard, then ask the operator to confirm the service arrangement needed for the logistics decision. Keep “track observed” separate from an operating claim about available rail service. Record the name of the document or contact that supplies the operating answer.

For inland and waterfront sites alike, deduplicate by buying account after the asset review. A depot with several equipment observations still belongs under one site record. If one purchasing team covers several sites, preserve that parent relationship while retaining each physical address for field planning.

Search the surrounding service territory too. Follow the truck parking and trailer yard method when truck staging belongs in the scope. Use the industrial outdoor storage site guide when the decision depends on open yard space and visible land use.

For a first expansion, I would select a territory the existing service team can reach before adding distant sites. Record normal travel hours from the shop as a buyer-supplied planning field. That lets the service manager reject an account whose access and travel requirements would erase the modeled margin, even when the equipment itself fits.

How to build a port asset inventory in 30 days

Use the first 30 days to define the buying decision, test a small inventory and assign follow-up, with pilot delivery dates agreed in the search scope.

The following schedule is a working plan for the buyer’s team. Match the research milestones to the agreed delivery date and the availability of the technical reviewers.

1. Days 1 and 2: choose one decision. Write a sentence such as “Find terminal accounts within our service territory that operate the crane classes our refurbishment team supports.” Assign an operations or sales owner who will receive the file and act on accepted records.
2. Days 2 to 4: set the boundary and counting unit. Supply the territory map and say whether the order counts individual cranes, yard areas or terminal accounts. Include inland sites explicitly if they belong. Provide existing customer and asset records for matching so the pilot can distinguish new coverage from known accounts.
3. Days 4 to 6: define the fit with your technical expert. List accepted asset classes, exclusions and difficult examples. Name the evidence that earns a fit and the missing detail that requires an unresolved result. Agree on how movable equipment observations will be handled across capture dates.
4. Days 6 to 10: scope the Asset Search pilot. Use Asset Search for port and terminal assets to specify the geography, assets and decision. Request dated views, parcel and owner information, operator research, every disposition and your preferred file format. Confirm the quote and pilot acceptance rule before the wider search.
5. Days 11 to 17: reconcile the pilot with public and internal records. Match the returned candidates to the USACE or BTS starting records where applicable. Have the technical reviewer inspect fits and disputed cases. Record rule changes once so every candidate is judged against the same version.
6. Days 18 to 22: settle the highest-value unknowns. Ask the terminal contact for the equipment record, buyer identity or access detail that changes the decision. Assign one next action to each unresolved site. Keep a rejected asset’s reason in the file instead of sending it back through general prospecting.
7. Days 23 to 26: deliver the accepted accounts to their owners. Group equipment under sites, assign a single representative or engineer per account and load the file into the receiving system. Require a next-action date. Test a small import first to confirm that asset IDs and evidence dates survive the transfer.
8. Days 27 to 30: decide whether to expand and refresh. Review technical fit, missing fields and time spent per accepted account. Recalculate value using the low outcome in your money model. Choose the next geography and a monitoring cadence only after the receiving team has worked the pilot records.

Review what happened to the records. Put the ones that produced technical conversations beside the ones nobody could assign, and ask the receiving team what missing information would have changed its response. Carry that answer into the next search specification.

Cost and buying terms for port asset data

Buy a port inventory by the investigation or accepted result, and use a subscription when repeated territory monitoring drives the decision.

For an aftermarket team, I would start with pricing per accepted result. Define that result as an asset or account meeting the written search rule. Separate asset acceptance from sales conversion: your team still needs to qualify the service scope and win the work.

For a port engineering department reconciling a known register, pricing per completed investigation can fit better. The investigation has value when it resolves a conflicting location or returns a documented rejection, even if it creates no new service prospect.

Choose a monitoring subscription when the buyer needs scheduled refreshes and change notices. Success-based terms tied to an agreed outcome are another Asset Search option. Write that outcome into the scope rather than leaving acceptance to a vague judgment after delivery.

Most buyers begin with a small paid pilot credited toward the full order. Define what the quote covers. Specify the territory and equipment classes, then agree on the evidence package and any operator research needed before the receiving team can accept a record. Include a process for reviewing disputed candidates.

Compare offers on cost per accepted, usable record after your team’s correction time. A lower file price can consume more staff time if the receiving department must reconstruct terminal boundaries or research every buying contact. Use the time assumptions from your own pilot to make that comparison.

When Ground Control covers the dock and yard search

Choose Ground Control for standard building lists with visible docks, yards or tanks; choose a custom port scope when individual terminal assets determine the answer.

The fastest way to find buildings with docks, yards or tanks is Ground Control by PorchRocket, using visible loading docks, industrial yards or storage tanks alongside building type and size. Commercial files cost $10 to $20 per building and arrive within 48 hours after payment. Every property says why it matched; report a wrong match within 30 days for a credit back. Owner information and decision-maker research are add-ons. These are target properties for your team to approach. Start with Ground Control’s property search when those standard filters answer the sales question.

The loading dock building list fits a dock-service campaign. The industrial yard list fits a seller targeting properties with visible yard space. Use the storage tank property list when the presence of a visible tank is the initial building filter.

A port equipment assignment asks a different set of questions about the individual installations and their terminal relationships. Specify the individual crane or berth question and the monitoring you need in the Asset Search scope. I would use the standard building list for a warehouse service territory and commission the custom inventory when the technical team needs a reviewed answer about a particular asset class.

Put the register to work in sales and asset management

Deliver the inventory with stable asset IDs and assigned next actions so sales and engineering teams can reconcile each new edition with the work already underway.

Asset Search delivers CSV, Excel, GIS-ready files or an import for your CRM or dealer system. Choose the destination before setting the field names. A service representative needs an account queue; an engineer may need mapped geometry and a link to the internal asset register. Both should retain the same evidence reference.

Record why an account stalls. If a representative reaches the right buyer but the equipment falls outside your repair capability, change the serviceability rule before ordering another territory with the same machine class. Keep the observation itself. The equipment could qualify under a later service offering.

For asset management, join the delivered observations to your established asset numbers and maintenance records. Keep newly found installations in a review queue until the responsible department accepts the join. A new coordinate should not silently replace an equipment record with years of maintenance history.

An energy project needs equipment records. The Port Electrification Handbook from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory recommends examining the inventory when considering cargo-handling electrification. Organize that investigation around the observed installations. Ask the terminal for the specifications and operating information the project team needs next.

Set a rule for stale information. If the next edition has no newer view of a site, retain the prior evidence date. If a requirement changes, retain the old disposition alongside the revised answer. Asset Search can re-answer previously searched sites under a new specification, often without waiting for new imagery.

Measure decisions settled. Sales should track qualified opportunities through to gross profit from signed accounts; engineering should track register discrepancies resolved and the field checks still assigned. Each department needs a path back from its decision to the dated evidence that started the work.

Build the port territory in Asset Search

Asset Search gives port equipment teams a reviewed inventory tied to their own acceptance rules, with dated evidence and a next step for unresolved sites.

The standard search area is the contiguous United States, from a single county to a national territory; other regions are available on request. Start with the equipment class and the decision your team needs to make. Supply examples of sites that qualify and the edge cases your application engineers want reviewed.

For a port assignment, scope these deliverables:

• A map and file of the requested cranes, terminal yards, berths or related assets, grouped under the correct site records.
• Dated views and the visible facts used to decide whether each candidate meets the search rule.
• Parcel and owner information, plus terminal operator and equipment-buyer research fields agreed for the assignment.
• Fits, rejects with reasons, and unresolved records naming the field check that would settle the question.
• A delivery format that preserves IDs and evidence references when the sales or asset team imports the file.
• An agreed refresh schedule, with before-and-after evidence for changes that meet the monitoring rule.

The search goes beyond existing directories to look for unlisted and newly built sites, and people review every candidate before delivery. Your technical team helps define what counts. When the supported equipment class or service method changes, the reviewed territory can be assessed against that new requirement.

Use the two-minute form to tell Asset Search what to find. PorchRocket returns a scope and quote, then the agreed pilot ships in your format. Give your team a territory it can assign and a set of assets it knows how to pursue.
