Supply chain planners cannot accurately predict container terminal delays and congestion in real-time
Supply chain planners currently rely on manual, daily reviews of terminal occupancy data to forecast container delays—a process described as 'art rather than science' that fails to provide reliable predictions. With mega-congestion waves rippling across ports unpredictably, planners lack actionable visibility into where boxes will be delayed and for how long, forcing them to make costly decisions based on incomplete information. Existing solutions don't aggregate real-time terminal utilization data into predictive intelligence that accounts for dynamic port conditions.

In recent months, a daily review of container terminal utilisation levels has become something of a ‘must-read’ for supply chain planners seeking to understand where boxes may be delayed, and for how long. That remains an art rather than science, but indicates how the container shipping industry has...
