Ocean Network Optimiser
Trade tariffs and threat of a global trade war are now disrupting supply chains worldwide, with some international shippers/BCOs initiating contingency plans to mitigate the risks posed by developments.
In certain circumstances new sourcing locations may be considered with potentially significant implications for the global ocean freight networks of these organisations.
Crucially, prior to any decision to shift sourcing location, a thorough due diligence exercise must be undertaken, with freight rate and carrier capacity analysis, evaluations of traffic patterns, port congestion, hinterland connectivity and in-country market dynamics all part of the mix.
Drewry Ocean Network Optimiser can help with this process of identifying the best-fit sourcing locations by leveraging our extensive in-house maritime capabilities and market intelligence. Download the brochure
