Optimize shipping from port to port
What are the trends changing Sea Freight landscape?
- Digitalization Shift and Collaboration
- Virtual Twin
- Emission Reduction
- End-to-End Container Management
- Door-to-Door Services
Digitalization Shift and Collaboration
High number of manual processes is still the norm in sea freight. However, ports have been trying to implement innovations in the entire value chain. It is expected that technological implementation in the maritime sector will keep increasing thanks to increased market investments and decreasing cost.
Some companies still rely on emails, personal hand-offs and even faxes which are error-prone ways of communication. Instead, especially in approach services and dry port, companies need to use collaboration tools.
Virtual Twin
Imagine a virtual twin of operations. Not just a digital representation of operations, but a live model, fed with IOT/sensor data with the advent of 5G.
With this you can not only begin to see your operations, but start to make more informed decisions that help reduce emissions, improve service, and reduce cost. No longer a dream. A reality that Dassault Systemes has matured along many years.
Emission Reduction
Shipping industry is under pressure to decarbonize and decrease gas emissions. The International Maritime Organization has been aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping by 50% by 2050. In addition, other regulatory bodies such as EU will come up with additional taxes to cope with carbon emissions.
Through digitalization and having full visibility by collecting and processing data, shipping companies will ensure continuous improvement to reduce their carbon footprint.
End-to-End Container Management
Container cycles are disrupted, taking much longer time. Shortage of equipment availability is a concern heightened by COVID.. Customers require certainty to run their business.
Enabling common visibility of equipment across hundreds or thousands of sites and employees, providing insight, predictive information, planning and optimization capabilities.
Having a fully connected and integrated environment is important to stay agile and make changes quickly. You’re ready for any challenges ahead
Door-to-Door Services
Offering door to door services require an integrated planning approach, from pick up, intermodal network services, shipping, either from owned resources or partners.
End to end (E2E) supply chain involves a complete integrated process. From service design, processing facilities, collection, intermodal network services, shipping, either from owned resources or partners, ensuring customer satisfaction and feedback.
A traditional supply chain focuses on each function where every step in the process is siloed and handled separately. This results in an inefficient and limited overall performance.
An E2E service Platform is a holistic view that integrates all supply chain functions. It provides greater visibility, and access to previously untapped efficiencies.
