The dashboard is your user panel. Here you will find information about your shipments. We can also give summary information about them. ShipsGo makes your job easier by categorizing their shipments here. In this section, we will learn ShipsGo’s Dashboard shortcuts.

You will see three different categories on the Dashboard. There are two different terms within these categories. First of all, there are some shortened expressions that you will see as you read the table. We can start by explaining them.

View: By clicking on the eye icon, you can access detailed information about your transport.

POL: It is the loaded port of your shipment. 

Shipment: It is the field where your container, BL, or Booking number of your shipment is written.

POD: It is the discharged port of your shipment.

TD: The number in a circle in this field is the number of ports your shipment will transfer to. If it is written “D” inside this circle, your shipment will arrive directly. You will also see a bar in this area. When you come to this bar, the number of days the vessel carrying your shipment has voyaged is written.

Time: It is the information of how many days ago your shipment departed or arrived from the port.

Waiting Time: It is the information of how many days your shipment has been waiting at the port of discharge or loading.

EST: Shows the estimated arrival or departure time.

On the Dashboard, three cards provide information about your shipments: Arrival, Departure, and Gate Out. Click to learn the details 👈

On Wednesday, July 7, a destructive explosion occurred in the Port of Jebel Ali, one of the world’s most famous ports. Docked container ship in Jebel Ali Port caught fire and turned the night into the morning. 

It was stated that the reason for the explosion in Dubai’s Jebel Ali port possibly is the flammable materials in the containers. According to the statements made by the Dubai government’s media office, the middle east’s largest transshipment hub experienced an accident caused by a container holding flammable material. The massive fire, which started after an explosion in a container sparked, was extinguished on Thursday.

Although exact information about the container ship has not been shared so far, it is thought to be the 210 teu Ocean Trader vessel, owned by Sash Shipping Group, based in Dubai. The container explosion caused the ground to shake severely, and the buildings and windows in residential areas as far as 25 kilometers from the port were heavily affected. Investigation continues, and the extent of the casualties and the damage to marine life is unknown. 

Video footage was posted on social media of firefighters dousing giant shipping containers. The flames were visible in the footage so that the world saw how violent the container explosion was in the Port of Jebel Ali. Port officials stated that they are taking all necessary measures to ensure that the normal movement of vessels and containers continues without disruption. 

About Shipsgo

ShipsGo’s vision is to make people happy with the information. Since beginning our journey in the container transportation business, we have been trying to organize the shipping industry’s information and make it accessible universally. We have developed two well-known products in the digital container transportation market; container tracking and route finder. These two products were designed for “visibility” in container transport. We provide information on the current position of containers and carriers’ route performances (transit time and reliability). We have reached 5,000 daily searches on our website from 70+ countries and plan to get 30,000 daily quests worldwide.

Approach: ShipsGo BCO Package

Evyap logistics team needs the details of every shipment information, such as the name of the port of loading and discharging, date of loading, name, and dates of transit ports, and total transit time. They used to get that information from their freight forwarders by phone and had problems reaching accurate information. After using, the ShipsGo container tracking service, they no longer need to have exhausting calls with forwarders to receive the information. The team now follows the location of their cargo by using an interactive map and dashboard.

Only in 3 months has there been a decrease in the time and human effort required to track a container. In addition to decreasing phone calls and mail traffics, thanks to the ShipsGo notification e-mails, Evyap could avoid unaccepted costs like dispatch, demurrage, and customer losses. ShipsGo delay notification e-mails also affected the carrier decision of Evyap for their next shipments. If a carrier doesn’t discharge your container at the promised date, why should you choose that carrier again should?

ShipsGo shipment statistics also provide benefits to Evyap. After tracking their container, Evyap shipments directly turned out monthly, and annual statistics report the basis of TEU, carriers, export, and import countries. They could see how many containers were on route or arrive on time. Besides, Evyap directly receives the reports of the number of containers carried in the last months and what is the proportion of each carrier in their shipment. Before ShipsGo, they couldn’t keep such kinds of statistics or were trying to keep them manually.
