Profit Optimization for Container Liner Shipping

To address these issues, Revenue Technology Services has joined forces with Carmen Systems and IMS Group in the Container Cargo Alliance to provide a new suite of Profit Optimization Solutions to the Container Liner Shipping Industry.

Experience from other industries demonstrates the potential of such decision-support tools for generating extensive demand forecasting information and using this information in optimization of container repositioning and voyage capacity management. Our comprehensive solution includes tools for improved Voyage Management and Container Fleet Management.

Total demand forecasting dramatically reduces the overall risk associated with the container carrier's revenue generation and allows for significant yield improvements through the application of integrated contribution analysis and contribution management. The direct impact on the carrier's profitability is significant. A yield/contribution improvement of 5% typically increases profitability by more than 50%, and a 10% reduction in container equipment and repositioning costs can potentially have the same effect.
