The environment around ocean freight is growing more uncertain, affected by geopolitical risk, extreme weather, port congestion, and more. In this environment, it is increasingly important to look beyond the scheduled transit time, understand how much delay each carrier and service actually experiences, and put that to work in day-to-day transport operations.
Yet in many cases the situation is judged by experience and gut feeling: “the service we use has been running late lately,” or “there seem to be a lot of skipped ports on that route.” Operations that rely on this kind of individual judgment make it hard to assess delay risk objectively or to align decision criteria across staff.
In this seminar, we use data available in Harbitt Route Search, our international logistics data solution, to analyze and explain in detail actual operating performance, such as delays and skipped ports, taking several carrier services as examples.
Rather than relying on vague experience or gut feeling, we look at how quantifying actual operating data can help standardize and improve delay-risk assessment, route selection, and day-to-day transport operations.
This webinar is a good fit if you are:
- A shipper who wants to quantify delay risk in ocean freight
- Looking to objectively understand how much delay and port skipping the carriers and services you use actually experience
- Wanting to introduce or build data-based transport operations
- Looking to standardize the criteria for judging delays and the process for switching to alternative routes
- A forwarder who wants to improve the accuracy of shipment status updates and route proposals to customers
- Driving the advancement of international logistics operations or SCM at a shipper or forwarder
We offer hints for evolving international logistics operations into repeatable, data-based work processes.
The session revisits, through data, how the carriers and services you use every day actually operate, and is meant to help you make more accurate transport decisions and run more accurate operations.
We hope you will share it with related departments and teams in your company and join us as an opportunity to think about the future of international logistics operations.

[Background]
After completing undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Tokyo, joined NYK Line, covering several dozen shippers and forwarders in container shipping sales across export, import, and cross-trade business. Moved to Accenture out of a conviction that established industries were struggling to digitize, and consulted for many large companies across a range of sectors, mainly on DX projects. Went on to support open innovation at large corporations at Plug and Play Japan before taking the current role.
