It is a known fact that more than two-thirds of the planet is covered by water and that more than 80% of all finished goods and raw materials traded globally is shipped through sea. Be it dry, wet or containerised cargo, commercial shipping industry remains the enabler and backbone of international trade and commerce. And with great importance, comes greater challenges. From new security regulations to rising fuel prices, from inadequate infrastructure to impending economic slow down, modern day shipping industry executives have innumerous issues to tackle with, in their long and short term business processes. Be it International Maritime Organisations’ (IMO) International Ship and Ports Facility Security Code (ISPS) or United States Home Land security regulations, security concerns are tantamount in today's global shipping operations. And with more and more leviathans in the fleet (8500 TEUs), global shipping companies are toiling with concepts like fleet consolidation for better operational efficiency, smart containers for increased visibility and global hubbing operations to reduce port calls, thus addressing the escalating operational costs and customer demands. All this and much more and the commercial shipping industry is experiencing a paradigm shift in the way they do business. With the ever changing landscape of global trade and shipping operations, it has become inevitable for today’s international shipping companies to adopt IT driven management and support systems.
