Project Overview
The client experienced significant annual detention charges caused by inefficient port processes, container handling practices, and limited visibility into inventory and rail movements. These inefficiencies increased transportation costs and created ongoing operational friction at the port.
Project Type
Supply chain engineering and transportation optimization
Operational Focus
Port operations, drayage coordination, container management
Financial Impact
$1M annual detention cost recovery
Port-based transload model improving container and rail coordination
Real-time monitoring of inventory and railcar positioning
Container loading strategy increasing rolls per shipment
$1M in annual detention costs eliminated
Container utilization improved through redesigned loading strategy
Port operations stabilized with clearer scheduling and visibility
We evaluated the client’s end-to-end port workflow and identified opportunities to restructure container usage and inland coordination. Our team designed a port-based transload program supported by real-time monitoring of railcars and inventory. By aligning ocean bookings, container planning, and drayage activity, we created a more predictable operating rhythm.
