I N D U ST RY NEW S Global shipping delay measure launched Global transport and logistics provider Kuehne+Nagel has developed a key performance indicator (KPI) for the troubled container shipping sector. The companys digital seaexplorer Global Disruption Indicator tallies the cumulative twenty-foot equivalent unit (teu) waiting time in days based on container vessel capacity in hot spots including Los Angeles, Long Beach, Seattle, Vancouver, Prince Rupert, Oakland, New York, Savannah, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Ningbo, Rotterdam and Antwerp. The teu waiting days (TWD) indicator shows, for example, one vessel with a 10,000 teu capacity waiting 12 days equals 120,000 TWDs. In mid-January, the total waiting time in the hot spot ports covered by seaexplorer stood at more than 11.5 million days. Otto Schacht, Executive Vice President of sea logistics at Kuehne+Nagel, said the TWD figure falling below a million would indicate some return to normality. The trend-line information provided by the indicator now enhances the ability of our customers to predict and plan for likely future impacts on their supply chain and identify the best course of action, said Schacht. The data is available for each carrier, each alliance, each service for the hot spot ports, with the indicator updated daily. According to seaexplorer data released at the end of January, there were more than 612 container vessels at anchor or drifting outside major global ports.
