How do I navigate these coming months ? And how I compare and benchmark the carriers' performance ?
No doubt the coming months will be chaotic, with alliances phasing in and out, and with a bit of Chinese New Year on top. So almost everyone we talk to these days are trying to gauge how it'll impact them; from port and terminals, to BCOs and logistics providers. And what their options are.
At eeSea we track the networks and schedules down to minute details, including the drip feeding of information from carriers. And that enables us to answer the initial question very granularly; which services and vessels will come to your port or be available in your port pair specifically on which dates. Including phase in/out, delays, omissions and blank sailings.
It's a really powerful tool to have available in a volatile world, where you cannot and should not track each little detail yourself. Let eeSea do that. And you focus on your business and your relationship with the carriers instead.
Attached are a few example screenshots. Granted, they're not pretty; they're heavy on details. And that's intentional - because the devil really IS in the detail in this particular situation.
The examples offer you the following insights:
- measures of proforma (sold) transit times vs actual (delivered) transit time, origin and destination delay, and cancellation rate;
- as well as vessel capacity expected and actually deployed
- per vessels, services and alliances
- per port pair, individual port and trade lane
- currently filtered to show December 2024 to April 2025, expected to be the most chaotic months
