Shipping exchange.
Today we will continue the topic of digitalization of logistics and touch upon the sphere of sea transportation, in particular, electronic platforms for the provision of logistics services, such as sea freight exchanges. Digitalization of international sea logistics is a complex task that can only be solved by joint efforts of independent forwarders, ship owners, shippers and charterers, but in this business two key competencies are equally important at once – both logistics and IT.
Electronic shipping platforms are designed to meet the needs of all stakeholders in the global or regional shipping industries – ship owners, charterers, marine brokers, providing instant access to critical, reliable and transparent shipping market data. These platforms are a powerful engine of the modern world, bringing comprehensive tools that improve the decision-making process for customers worldwide.
