eeSea launches TrueTransit
TrueTransit - port-to-port options & benchmarking for shippers and logistics providers
Port-to-port vessel and service schedules, based on eeSea's highly accurate forecasting methodology and extensive historical data set.
Powerful benchmarking, allowing shippers to evaluate carrier reliability on five dimensions: proforma and delivered transit time, delays at load and discharge ports, as well as cancellation rates.
In an already chaotic first quarter where alliance transitions and Chinese New Year combine with the Red Sea closure and political and labor uncertainty, continuously updated and accurate vessel schedules is paramount.
Copenhagen, January 14, 2025 - eeSea announces the launch of TrueTransit, an intuitive port-to-port options and reliability solution designed to empower shippers with unparalleled visibility into real vessel transit performance.
What is it for?
TrueTransit is primarily envisaged for three use cases:
During contract negotiations BCOs and LSPs are interested in benchmarking carriers' historical reliability performance, down to a port pair level. Combined with the mapping of the carriers' current and future networks, it offers additional dimensions to the carrier selection
When a purchase order has been issued, the origin shipper wants to pick the best carrier and vessel within, say, a two-week window, factoring in delays, omissions and blank sailings
Once the booking is on the water, the importer can manage downstream consequences of delays or omissions with earlier and more accurate ETAs
Ocean carriers can also benchmark their own performance per trade lane or port pair, on operated or partner vessels.
What are its key features?
Accurate and long-term vessel schedule forecasts - With TrueTransit, consignees can access continuously updated vessel schedules and ETA/ETD predictions based on historic trends and actual vessel data, for better confidence and planability. Unlike traditional tools, TrueTransit provides an objective and data-driven ETA that reflects the actual situation as well as historic performance, rather than relying solely on carriers' published schedules.
Intuitive user experience and comprehensive suite of metrics - By inputting an origin and destination (ports, countries, or regions), users get a comprehensive list of container vessel services operating that route, including:
Departure and arrival times of individual vessels, services or carriers
Proforma (marketed) transit times vs actual delivered transit times
Average delays for load port departures and discharge port arrivals
Cancellation rates - blank sailings and omissions
If users want to know more, they can click on elements to navigate further into the eeSea data universe, such as more information about the liner service, the vessel, or arrivals into a given port.
Driving industry transparency
Simon Sundboell, CEO and Founder of eeSea, says:
“Increased volatility and uncertainty have underscored the need for greater transparency and reliable data. And not just averages, but granular and consolidated data down to port pair and vessel level. TrueTransit offers unbiased insights to shippers and logistics professionals, and we hope to help them to make better decisions based on facts, not assumptions.”
