Reducing waiting costs in a 700+ container import programme

At a client importing more than 700 containers a year, port waiting and storage charges made up a significant share of total logistics cost.

Approach

1. A pre-arrival document completion schedule
2. Preparing the customs declaration before the vessel’s arrival
3. Planning haulage vehicles in advance according to the arrival time

Result

A marked reduction in storage and demurrage charges, and predictability in delivery times.
