Treasure Troves in Transit: Sea Freight Data's Untapped Potential

🌐🚢In the high-stakes world of import/export, where businesses invest significantly to ensure the continuity of their critical data assets, employing measures like data encryption, backups, redundant data centres, firewalls, and more has become common practice.

However, amidst this meticulous attention to data protection and business continuity, a fundamental aspect remains overlooked – the very reason these businesses can exist: the data surrounding the shipments that traverse oceans and continents.

Remarkably, this data goes uncaptured, let alone leveraged or safeguarded.

Why does this oversight persist? ❓🤔

It might seem like an obvious question, but the truth is that collecting, processing, analysing and effectively disseminating this data in order to drive operations is a specilised tradecraft and has historically been a complex and costly endeavour.

These businesses owe their existence to the intricate ballet of sea freight. Each voyage carries invaluable data, meticulously chronicling performance, timelines, and the profound financial implications of on-time deliveries, of cargo and the conatiners themselves. This data serves as the lifeblood of their operations, and its value appreciates over time.
