Logistics in the maritime industry

Logistics is the backbone of maritime supply chains: it orchestrates flows, shortens lead times and ensures cargo arrives in full and on time. Planning, visibility and collaboration among stakeholders are critical to productivity.

Pillars of effective logistics

  • Planning of routes, windows and resources based on demand.
  • Visibility of milestones and exceptions in real time.
  • Coordination among carriers, ports, depots and inland transport.

Enabling technology

TMS, PCS and digital tracking tools help anticipate congestion, optimize slots and reduce costs. Data turns into better decisions and improved customer service.

Tangible outcomes

  • Shorter cycle times and lower operational costs.
  • Less demurrage and waiting due to poor coordination.
  • Higher delivery reliability and documentation traceability.
