project44 announced the availability of its free port visibility reporting service, Port Intel. Free for a limited time, Port Intel is an online service that provides subscribers with free reports that summarize port congestion, and inform them when their containers are anchored near congested ports.
Commenting on the new service, Jett McCandless, Founder and CEO of project44, said that the impact of oceanic bottlenecks on the global economy is staggering. He also added that due to the critical nature of the port blockages, the service enables global shippers to identify where the delays are occurring and how they can mitigate delays and avoid future crises.
Users can access the report by visiting the Port Intel site and entering vessel identifiers, bill of lading identifiers or ocean container numbers.
Using these details, Port Intel generates customized updates that include projected time out and port dwell times.
The reports are curated by project44 to provide recommendations that integrate real-time data.
