Container logistics – cycle time:

  1. What? Increase container cycle time by reducing stocks of empty containers on all terminals and depots worldwide (import and export regions).
  2. Why? Over last years, the total container fleet did grow more than the number of liftings. With this the cost of ownership, storage cost and cost for maintenance and repair did raise.
  3. Who? The cycle Time project will be driven by the Container Logistics department but will have impact on all departments within Niledutch.
  4. How? Improve weekly forecasting process on equipment level per origin / outport, revise loadprocess Africa (stable loadplan and pre-selection process to move damaged containers to Asia), improve positioning process empty containers in export areas  (positioning vs cabotage), set up a simulation tool to calculate impact of chartering decisions and manage flows / stcok development with an outlook of 3 months.
