MSC has announced that it has entered into an agreement with leading technology company NYSHEX to digitalize the performance monitoring of its ocean freight contracts.

NYSHEX helps carriers, shippers and NVOCCs (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers) improve the performance monitoring of their commercial agreements.

Using a secure, cloud-based platform, NYSHEX’s technology digitizes these agreements, including the key terms, allocations and service levels, and compares this information against live booking data, container milestones and vessel schedules through automated workflows.

The NYSHEX platform will give MSC insights into its ocean contracts in real time, enabling sales and commercial staff to monitor performance, receive automated alerts on booking patterns, and adapt more efficiently and proactively to changing market dynamics and trends.

Leveraging technology to elevate the customer experience

MSC has grown rapidly over the past few years, today operating the world’s largest fleet with 830 vessels serving 300 trade routes and calling at 520 ports.

Dr Jonathan Beard, Partner, Infrastructure Advisory, Strategy & Transactions, EY, said that digitalisation was the most important and most pervasive technology transformation in the industry today. Technologies like AI, IoT and data analytics are driving efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Real equipment automation was still in its early stages with fully automated terminals implemented in a few places across the world where there was a business case for it and “return on capital made sense”.

 Based out of Hong Kong, Dr Beard says he has seen a lot of automation in air cargo operations that despite being capital intensive were already profitable thanks to government incentives.

Dr Beard concluded by saying that although automation created more resilient supply chains, today, digitalisation is what was driving the logistics industry and Covid has helped to “turbo charge” the same.
