Tomorrow’s Supply Chain News: Industry Updates
Recommendation: Set up an open status dashboard that aggregates their globaldata feeds from gsbn, cosco, and hapag-lloyd into a single view for nine key carriers, giving you an open status on each shipment and the entire chain.
Track nine metrics: open status of each shipment, flow of goods, throughput, dwell times, and information quality across routes. Maintain a single standard for data formatting to keep information comparable and streamline processes; this deeper view helps the board align on priorities across компании and their partners.
To formalize governance, establish a board-level consensus on data-sharing rules with gsbn, cosco, and hapag-lloyd, while protecting privacy and enabling real-time updates. Keep a single source of truth for this industry-wide view of the chain to avoid silos and misaligned actions.
Most operators see deeper visibility when data flows into a shared platform. In pilots with nine carriers, ETA accuracy improved 5–10%, dwell times fell 8–12%, and port congestion indicators improved 4–7% on the busiest trade lanes, underscoring the value of open data and improved information flow across the value chain.
In the next two weeks, implement a compact plan: deploy a single dashboard, finalize a board consensus on data-sharing rules, launch a nine-carrier pilot with gsbn, cosco, and hapag-lloyd, and publish a weekly industry-wide update to keep stakeholders aligned.
Monitor results and refine data-quality checks to sustain gains in flow, goods visibility, and cargo risk management, ensuring your entire network remains resilient and responsive to shifting market conditions.
Onboarding specifics: data sharing, access roles, and security on TradeLens for Hapag-Lloyd and ONE
Implement a single, role-based access policy on TradeLens for Hapag-Lloyd and ONE, then extend to cosco and oocl. Limit information exposure to what each task requires across the network of stakeholders, with a data-sharing contract that defines fields, retention, and revocation triggers. Open controls for major partners reduce risk while enabling deeper collaboration, with more granular processes across the entire chain for each transaction.
Map nine core stakeholders to data domains that matter for sailing and compliance: voyage status, container details, transactions, documents, and regulatory records. Each role receives a precise scope, with a task list that supports both teams and the board in reviews and audits.
Security controls come next: enforce MFA and SSO, issue short-lived tokens, encrypt data in transit and at rest, and maintain immutable logs for all access and changes. Establish automatic alerts for privilege changes and integrate with the enterprise security operations center.
Onboarding steps for partners on the TradeLens platform include identity verification, partner screening, data mapping, API link setup, sandbox tests with representative transactions, and a staged cutover plan to minimize disruption for supply chain flows and cargo handlings.
Data-sharing agreements align with industry-wide norms and include data minimization, retention windows, deletion triggers, and accountability for governance. They address cross-border data handling for chinas-based partners and for компании across the network, including cosco and oocl.

Timeline milestones: signing, integration, testing, and go-live

Sign a single, binding agreement with the board and компании to lock scope and set four milestone dates: signing, integration, testing, go-live. This highlights the most critical paths. Both sides will sign by week’s end.
Signing builds consensus across suppliers and customers; document master data standards, data quality rules, and service-level expectations; assign task owners and define nine critical data points that feed the information layer, so teams act with clarity.
During integration, map the entire chain, establish integrated processes, and launch the major link between ERP, WMS, and TMS within the gsbn network to align data flow that informs decision-making.
Testing validates readiness: run nine test scenarios, after which we verify data consistency across systems, validate security controls, and confirm end-to-end intelligence supports decision-making.
Go-live is launched with a formal kickoff in each region. Go-live activates the integrated setup across the entire chain, with real-time monitoring of flow and the ability to ship goods smoothly; after launch, the team continues to optimize tasks and information exchanges, expanding the gsbn network and unlocking more efficiency to sustain supply continuity.
Tariffs shift: what changed in US duties and immediate shipping implications
Audit tariff exposure now and reconfigure sourcing to minimize duty impact. Map each product to its HS code, quantify the incremental duty, and compare landed cost across suppliers. If a category faces higher duties, shift procurement to lower-duty sources, diversify supply, or adjust packaging to preserve value. Review the nine tariff-exposed product families first and leverage staged supplier changes and price renegotiations with their board to cover the trade network across the entire chain.
Expect immediate shipping implications. Higher landed costs push faster replenishment to avoid stockouts, tighten transit tolerances, and alter lane mix across the entire chain. Carriers may consolidate volumes on core routes, while some shipments reroute via alternative corridors. Track cargo through the integrated flow and tune network planning to keep shipments moving across world trade flows.
Use globaldata intelligence to forecast tariff impact and offer deeper insights for stakeholders. After tariff lists update, adjust sourcing and logistics tasks. Build a deeper link between procurement and finance to maintain cash flow and keep their teams aligned with their responsibilities.
Key carriers include oocl and hapag-lloyd; monitor their schedules and capacity for single ship moves. Maintain visibility across the chain and push to more predictable lanes, while linking procurement with operations for faster decisions.
Operational steps for stakeholders: require paper-based documentation for compliance but push to digitize core records where possible. Establish a single data link that ties procurement, logistics, and finance, and ensure the nine-digit HS code approach tracks items from chinas suppliers through the entire supply chain, with clear ownership for each task and a continuous update loop at the board.
Operational impact: document flow, real-time visibility, and claims processing on TradeLens

Adopt TradeLens-driven document flow now to gain real-time visibility and faster claims processing.
TradeLens, launched by Maersk and IBM, offers an industry-wide data network that replaces paper-based workflows with a single source of truth. It delivers real-time cargo status, synchronized information, and secure transactions across major routes, including chinas corridors, benefiting both shippers and carriers across the world.
- Document flow becomes traceable: all documents–bills of lading, invoices, manifests–are attached as structured data on the network, reducing paper-based handoffs and delays while creating a single source of truth for major cargo movements.
- Real-time visibility: status updates propagate to all stakeholders with access controls, enabling proactive task management, faster exception handling, and better supply-network intelligence.
- Faster claims processing: automated matching of documents and events shortens dispute cycles, while consensus-driven settlement improves efficiency for both parties and minimizes revenue leakage.
- Cross-border collaboration: hapag-lloyd and other major players join gsbn-powered data flows, advancing industry-wide efficiency and reducing fragmentation; the network supports information exchange across komponents of the supply chain, including kompanii in chinas corridors (компании).
- Digitize documents and attach them to TradeLens to replace paper-based workflows and ensure faster, auditable flow of data.
- Standardize data fields and event types using gsbn guidelines to enable consistent information exchange across the network.
- Onboard key participants, including hapag-lloyd, to maximize coverage and unlock broader visibility across transactions.
- Set up automated workflows for claims matching, escalation, and settlement to shorten cycle times and reduce manual effort.
Track metrics such as cycle time for claims, exception rate, and the share of events with real-time status. A deeper view into data quality and flow helps leadership justify continued investment and expands industry-wide benefits across the world.
GlobalData deep-dive: forecasts, datasets, and recommended actions for carriers and shippers
Take this task: establish an integrated data-exchange that links carrier APIs with shipper platforms via open data links. Replace paper-based steps across the chain to speed up goods movement and deliver deeper cargo visibility. In a world with rapid trade shifts, GlobalData forecasts show that sharing information across the chain boosts service reliability and asset utilization for both sides.
Forecasts and datasets from globaldata highlight three actionable elements. First, forecast accuracy improves by 5–12% when the same data backbone supports planning across the network. Second, port-call and vessel-speed datasets reduce cargo dwell times by 8–15% on key lanes. Third, lane-level capacity signals help plan contingencies faster, stabilizing service levels across critical corridors. GlobalData offers datasets on port-call volumes, vessel speed, container availability, trade-lane capacity, and shipper-demand signals, all feeding integrated planning models that span the network and support oocl, cosco, and hapag-lloyd.
Recommended actions for carriers and shippers hinge on governance, technology, and metrics. First, adopt an API-first approach and a common data standard to create a single source of truth. Second, establish a data governance board and seek consensus on who signs data-sharing policies to protect information integrity. Third, sunset paper-based workflows and deploy integrated dashboards that reflect real-time status. Fourth, implement a continuous improvement loop by tying KPIs to lanes and service levels, then publish an industry-wide data digest for transparency.
In practice, the gains come from aligning on what data means for each stakeholder: ship status, cargo readiness, and ETA should flow through a secure link that both parties trust. This supports both sides of the chain and reduces error rates. For example, oocl, cosco, and hapag-lloyd are piloting joint dashboards that reveal vessel status, goods readiness, and port throughput, with a clear sign of improved coordination on the board.
To operationalize the plan, map data fields across carriers and shippers, establish data-quality checks, and build a common KPI framework. Then create a monthly data report covering trade activity, port congestion, and carrier performance, and maintain a public link for operators. After next milestones, extend open datasets to a broader set of companie s and ensure industry-wide alignment through ongoing governance and feedback from their leadership teams, ensuring the network remains integrated and resilient.
