Users can also find, compare and visualise shipment options across carriers. In addition, information on services are validated by data sets from multiple sources, such as AIS and Kuehne + Nagel’s operational systems.
Moreover, according to Otto Schacht, Member of the Managing Board of Kuehne + Nagel International AG, responsible for Seafreight, the platform will provide full visibility on CO2 emissions across carrier and individual services.
This will enable shippers to contribute towards a green economy and sustainable global maritime transportation
In summary, the new platform will provide the following:
- A path finding algorithm provides extensive coverage between 1,200 ports to and from every corner of the world;
- Realistic lead times on direct services can be compared with announced transit times from carriers;
- Data-driven insights unlock new possibilities for a more reliable and sustainable seafreight supply chain planning;
- Full transparency of quality and sustainability for each operating service loop based on Big Data technology;
- Customers can leverage real-time service information to make best informed decisions.
