Why Freight Visibility is Important

January 1, 2018

What is commonly called the “supply chain” may immediately bring up an image of a series of interconnected links. What might not be as readily seen on that chain is the constant movement of freight. Along the supply chain, goods in various stages must be transported to and from raw materials suppliers, manufacturers, wholesale distributors, retailers and end users. At every step along the way, brokers, 3PLs and freight haulers are involved in bringing a product to market. Because of this, visibility into freight location and status is becoming increasingly essential.

Zero Ready Framework Ensuring shipping can deliver our zero emissions future

whitePaper | November 10, 2022

Shipping faces a critical challenge. The energy transition is well underway and ocean going zero carbon ships must be in service by 2030. The industry is currently focussed on delivering zero Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by fuelling with renewably sourced ammonia, hydrogen or methanol. But solutions for widespread deployment are not ready yet and ships built today have expected lifetimes of 20-30 years. So, the industry now thinks in terms of ‘readiness’, the ability to ensure that a vessel can use zero carbon fuel once this becomes feasible, either by building new vessels that have this capability from the day they are built, or by ensuring existing vessels can be easily converted.
