Patrick Terminals and OneStop are pleased to announce the upcoming launch of OptiBook at Patrick Terminals – Fremantle on Saturday, 5 September 2026. The new container management solution integrates with the OneStop Vehicle Booking System to improve operational efficiency and provide greater transparency across the landside supply chain.
OptiBook will provide Patrick Terminals' customers with enhanced visibility of container status, expedited access to available containers and an improved slot booking process. The new system facilitates more efficient truck bookings for containers that have been discharged and deemed 'ready' while providing a transparent process for confirming truck slots.
The Fremantle launch also introduces a new "Tagged Run" module which has been developed based on transport operator feedback. Transport operators will be able to request and manage tagged runs directly within the OneStop Vehicle Booking System rather than making tagging arrangements outside the platform. Tagged runs can be requested ahead of container discharge and confirmed by Patrick Terminals, providing operators with a single, transparent process, improved visibility and greater certainty when planning.
To support a smooth transition, OneStop in conjunction with Patrick Terminals, hosted an OptiBook Carrier Engagement Forum on Thursday, 6 August 2026 covering system functionality with the purpose of preparing transport operators for the upcoming go live. Two one-hour online OptiBook Carrier Training sessions will follow to provide practical guidance on using the new platform:
• Session 1: Thursday, 27 August from 1300 to 1400
• Session 2: Tuesday, 1 September from 1300 to 1400
OneStop will email registration links to transport operators ahead of the training dates.
The go-live has been deliberately scheduled for a Saturday to minimise disruption to landside operators, as weekend operations are typically quieter than weekdays.
"OptiBook reflects our broader vision for OneStop: using data to make the physical movement of freight as efficient as the systems that manage it," said Chris Harnett, Chief Commercial Officer at OneStop. "This launch with Patrick Terminals shows what's possible when technology is designed around how operators actually work, not the other way around."
Peter Chesi, Terminal Manager – Patrick Terminals - Fremantle, said: "OptiBook will provide our landside customers with real-time visibility of their containers and smarter booking options for transport operators. Launching OptiBook into our Fremantle operations builds on Patrick Terminals' industry-leading landside efficiency and continues to strengthen our long-standing commitment to driving operational excellence across the supply chain."
Transport operators will shortly receive documentation and support materials for the transition to the new booking system. Transport operators will also be provided with detailed instructions for downloading and using the OneStop Deliver App.
