Transporeon Ocean Visibility brings a sea of tranquility to the chaos of ocean transportation. We provide reliable ETAs by collecting data in real-time from different sources (ocean carriers, satellite-AIS systems, port operators) and automatically detect transshipments and port changes. Through the careful use of historical data and machine-learning models we turn this data into actionable intelligence that gives you the most accurate view of reality.

End-to-end supply chain visibility in a unified user interface

No more blind spots in your global transports. We help shippers and forwarders become proactive by giving a full overview of every leg of your shipments and inform you before things go wrong. This end-to-end supply chain visibility helps to better manage transports and deliver a higher quality service to the end customers.

The Ocean Transports Visibility UI can be accessed by clicking on the ferry icon in the menu and it has two main views.

1. Listing view of all your ocean containers

Gain control over your ocean transports through real-time status updates of all your shipments. The status of the shipment can be Delayed, On time or Completed.

Besides statuses the listing view also including data such as container number, booking number, carrier, transshipment locations, and the planned, estimated and actual time of arrival of each container.

2. Detail view of container transports with map view, logs and port events

The detail view gives a great overview of where your containers are through real-time vessel location on the map and port events about gate in, loading, unloading etc.

The milestone view on the right gives an overview of planned, estimated and actual time of arrival for different steps during the transportation.

Overall the detail view helps to identify containers at risk of demurrage and detention charges so you can deal with containers that need immediate attention.

Benefits of Ocean Visibility

Focus on exceptions

Reliable visibility data helps logistics planners to focus on exceptions like delays, transshipments, vessel changes etc, meaning moving their transport management from reactive to proactive and thereby working with shipments where things are about to go wrong.

Improve customer satisfaction

Real-time status updates about vessel changes, transshipments, loading, unloading etc. and the planned, estimated and actual time of arrival of each container helps to be on top of things and better manage your ocean transports, thereby providing a higher quality service to your customers.

Avoid demurrage and detention charges

Demurrage and detention charges can be costly and create delays when shipping globally. Knowing where your containers are through real-time vessel location and port events about gate in, loading, unloading etc. helps to timely start your customs clearance activities and on-carriage transportation planning or identify containers at risk of demurrage and detention, so you can deal with containers that need immediate attention and avoid or reduce the charges.

Improve your supply chain resilience

Apply mitigation strategies to prepare your supply chain for upcoming changes through early warnings and reliable estimations of deliveries. You’ll be able to adapt in time or organize backup deliveries to mitigate the impact of changes.

Find and resolve bottlenecks faster

High quality visibility data helps to identify the actual or potential bottlenecks in your supply chain and replan your logistics to get the goods moving.
