AIS Industry use case
Logistics and supply chain
AIS data allows for monitoring the global supply chain
Learning of a delay or break in the supply chain too late can cost thousands or even millions of dollars. Spire AIS vessel tracking data provides insight into delays en route to help minimize the impact of a break while also helping to better manage ETAs for more efficient use of resources at port.
An accurate picture of the ship’s voyage and potential alternative routes are critical to avoid the day-to-day cost implications of a significant break.
With Spire AIS, logistics and supply chain companies and professionals can:
Stay on top of possible delays with greater visibility into vessel stoppages and route deviations
Identify more precise ETAs to ensure minimal delays at port
Track the entire voyage of a ship to prevent container loss and ensure goods on board are safe
