October 08, 2018 at 12:16 pmYeah, it is extremely true that e-commerce paved way for more cargo transportation via air / water and created many business opportunities as well. It is calculated that about 90% of goods reaches customers through sea routes. But now a days, sea freights are facing a major concern, i.e. delayed shipping and associated heavy costs. Delay may be due to various factors. It can be cargo clearance delay, climatic changes, system errors, etc. Among this, cargo clearance delay can be avoided if we give a little care. Many logistics and transportation companies are nowadays using applications which can ease the process of customs clearance. For more details, visit: https://www.zerone-consulting.com/Case-Study/Sea-Freight-Logistics-Auto-Port-Declaration.html . This case study explains about an application to automate port declaration for sea freight logistics. The system facilitates submission of all necessary documents required for customs clearance to be submitted before reaching destination port / even before commencing the sail. System also helps the carriers to monitor whether their submissions are accepted / rejected/ needs any re submission. Customs officials can calculate entry charges to the port for the carriers and if they wish, they can do online payment / not, they can settle the payment while reaching the port. If any security issues are found, carriers can know that earlier and can fix the issue asap. Thus, all together, the system helps faster, safer and efficient submission of port declaration, lower response time by customs officials regarding paper clearance, better unloading of cargo and invoice by obeying the maritime rules. Wide use of modern technological systems in sea freight shipping should be encouraged in order to optimize operating cost.
