Designed to transport cargo from smaller, regional ports to larger container ships, feeder vessels play a vital role in supply chains on a global scale.

In a world where consumer demand shifts quickly and global uncertainty makes flexibility even more important, understanding ‘what is LCL freight’ and cased where you can use it in your supply chain can be helpful.

New technology is not only changing business’s approach to shipping but also how international shipping training is organized and executed. While this will never replace the importance of expert planning and monitoring, the integration of different types of technology can be revolutionary for your employees.

As the industry has evolved and trade networks have expanded, the volume of freight being transported by sea has increased dramatically. In 2000, the global fleet consisted of approximately 2,400 container ships with a capacity of 4.3 million TEUs. By 2010 this had tripled, with cargo capacity being spread across approximately 4,700 ships. Add on another 12 years, and by mid-2022 there were around 6,406 container ships with a TEU of 25.8 million tonnes.

Repetitive data entry, inconsistent formatting, and missing fields can easily slow operations down, and even lead to costly mistakes. To make this process faster and more reliable, MSC introduced the Mass Upload Tool on myMSC in October 2023. Built for when you need to handle multiple containers and cargo types, this feature is meant to replace the old Excel-based workflow with a simple copy-and-paste process.
