Rethinking Cargo Data Exchange: Modernising Communication Between Terminals, Carriers, and Vessels

In our latest thought leadership report ‘Rethinking Cargo Data Exchange: Modernising Communication Between Terminals, Carriers, and Vessels’  we examine why the current model of cargo data exchange is misaligned with modern port operations.

Drawing on industry interviews, survey responses, and operational analysis, the report:

  • Examines how cargo data is actually exchanged during port calls

  • Identifies the structural, technical, behavioral, and commercial barriers that slow progress

  • Defines what effective cargo data exchange looks like from an operational standpoint

  • Outlines a practical framework and actionable recommendations to improve coordination—without replacing existing systems

Despite high levels of investment in terminal operating systems, vessel planning tools, and office platforms, cargo data exchange between terminals, carriers, and vessels remains a weakness in global port operations.

Cargo data is everywhere, so why can’t terminals and carriers use it?

In this webinar, we share data that confronts the problem head-on, examining why cargo data exchange has failed to scale, and what must change for it to finally deliver value.
