Transform container logistics by freeing yourself from legacy data systems, manual document handling and poor visibility.
A global growth opportunity
It’s estimated that global trade is now worth more than $18 trillion USD per year. The majority of traded goods are transported, at some point, by ocean going vessels in steel shipping containers. The value of that containerized freight is approximately $12 trillion USD. But paper-based trade and manual document-handling slow logistics and facilitation, reducing the potential by up to 15%.
As the world continues to develop, demand for container freight transport is projected to grow significantly. If we work together to scale information digitization and exchange then we can claim that 15%, resulting in a $1.8 trillion increase this year and $5.2 trillion per year by 2050.

Ports and terminals are the gateway for trade. A port that is resourceful can handle cargo more efficiently, impacting the overall progression and growth of businesses and industries. But, beyond the investments in tangible assets, there is a key aspect that can be taken advantage of, the access to complete data at the right time.
Beneficial cargo owners (BCOs) — whether they are a big box store, a transnational manufacturer, or any other large-scale importer — are increasingly turning to third-parties like freight forwarders or non-vessel operating common carriers (NVOCCs) to manage their ocean freight.
For a digitized supply chain setup, such as TradeLens, understanding the role of each network member in logistics is the key to enable them with the visibility to the right data. Further, addressing concerns with regards to data safety and visibility are at the core of establishing an effective collaboration across the industry.
