Unlocking value across the container logistics supply chain

 

Transport inefficiencies that start at the terminal gate have a flow-on effect right across the container logistics supply chain, trapping value and depressing profitability for all involved.

But it doesn't have to be this way.

Connecting the community of container depots and terminals, cargo owners, shipping lines, and road transporters, Containerchain solutions support synchronised communication and operational predictability.

Features include real-time paperless tracking,frictionless information exchange, process automation, and optimised asset utilisation - as well as total container movement visibility for more proactive planning. The result is lowered cost of operations and improved profitability for one of the world's most essential industries.

The Labour Party will oppose the agreement and 'Brexiteers' may have the numbers to kill it. This would be the end of May. EU leaders have warned that there will be no more negotiations. France, Belgium and Spain want to make the divorce as painful as possible, as a deterrent for other members considering leaving, while Germany want 'remain'. The GBP crashed to 1.2730, following the Cabinet resignations, but recovered to 1.2850, with a softer reserve. Support remains at 1.2700, but any breach could see the GBP tumble to 1.2000.
