Global supply chain visibility has become an extremely hot topic in recent years. In Descartes’ 2019 survey of transportation and logistics professionals, it was rated the 1 capability needed for successful transportation management. To improve financial and service KPIs, companies must have a way to view, analyze, and communicate multimodal and visibility data in real-time.

While it would be easy to just blame the pandemic for the supply chain industry’s problems, the truth is the virus’ impact only exposed and exacerbated longtime vulnerabilities. Before the pandemic, in 2018, the U.S. ranked only 14th out of 160 countries for supply chain efficiency, according to the World Bank.

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.

Ships require a constant energy supply for propulsion and other onboard systems. Fuel requirements and consumption are essential parameters to factor in at the design phase. Adopting alternative fuels will raise important considerations as to the operating profile and architecture of the ship and the need to train crews in their safe storage and use, for instance.

Every day, perishable goods make their way across domestic, international, and intercontinental routes, through an elaborate supply chain from point of harvest to retail to fulfil worldwide consumption needs. These consumable and non-consumable products, such as meats, fish, flowers need to be handled and transported in a fast and reliable manner to ensure shipment integrity and minimize any losses. This is largely made possible by air transport which facilitates the movement of perishables across the world. Though proven to be robust, perishable transport has succumbed to inevitable pressures inflicted on the supply chain by the pandemic, such as capacity constraints and transport restrictions which significantly impact food loss and waste.
