How does it work?

The Ship Schedules tool’s interface has been enriched by a newly released opportunity to search sailing schedules by Port to expand data gathering for shipments. The ‘Port’ tab is located next to the ‘Route’ for points-searching and the ‘Vessel’ tab.

When searching for ship schedules on the ‘Port’ tab, the user needs to enter the name of the seaport or choose from the history of recent searches. The SeaRates Autocomplete service provides rapid geographical detection of the user's request and offers results to pick from. Also, date and other parameters, such as time frame by weeks and shipping line, can be selected or stayed by default.




There are handy Filter on the left, an interactive real-time world map that displays the user’s port of choice, and sailing results provided by global shipping carriers.

For the port, clients’ search sailing schedules by, the tool provides major key information such as port name, state, LOCODE, latitude, longitude, and the timezone for convenient planning the supply chain operations according to SeaRates database.




Adjusting the Filter, there are options to set the results for particular arrival or departure dates, selecting one or more shipping lines from the list, as well as the vessel name and voyage number.




Continuing with schedule results by port, the schedule cards of main shipping lines carriers cargo transportation by this port are displayed. Even without opening the card, you can check the name of shipping line, voyage number, and ETA/ETD. The cards consist of vessel details on the top. Next, choosing a specific vessel, voyage, or dates under the shipping line, users get detailed information on the route, including broader ETA, ETD data, service name and code, as well as terminal name and code. Then, voyages are displayed with their local code, and the Cut off Dates are listed in detail.




An add-on value of the Ship Schedules tool is the newly created results details page that appears by clicking the 'View Details' button, which allows the user to share a unique link to the results with customers and partners by clicking the 'Copy link' button.




Finally, the Ship Schedules API has also undergone a range of updates to enable easy integration of the schedule search by Port capability into our customers' TMS/ERP/CRM systems.
