Schedule reliability is key to efficient container shipping and supply chains

Poor communication on vessel arrival time is the biggest pain-point for container shippers, according to MarineTraffic.
The vessel tracking specialist calculated that over 22% of commercial vessels arrive at their destination a day later than planned, with 15% making intermediate stops between departure port and destination.
However, under carrier contracts, arriving a day late or a day early may be considered “on time”, according to MarineTraffic product marketing manager Daniel Shirley.

Visibility and agility will become more important to supply chains than speed

Better visibility and more responsive supply chains are the only way for shippers and their forwarders to respond to problems related to slow-steaming and containership schedule unreliability.
At last week’s TOC Americas Container Supply Chain event in Cartagena, Bill Rooney, vice president of strategic development at Kuehne + Nagel, told delegates: “Visibility is the solution to slow and unreliable assets.”
He explained that only 75%-80% of containerships arrived at their destination ports …

Cosco chief slams rivals’ plans to be ‘end-to-end’ supply chain providers

China Cosco Shipping executive vice president Wang Haimin has rubbished the idea that carriers can be sole service providers of end-to-end container supply chains.
Mr Wang (pictured) drew comparison between competitors Maersk and CMA CGM’s push to become fully integrated container logistics providers and, at the other end of the spectrum, MSC and Hapag-Lloyd’s apparent focus on pure port-to-port shipping.
“Cosco is somewhere in the middle,” he told delegates at the TPM …
