Shipping

Global trade is entering a new phase of digital transformation. Containers, vessels, ports, terminals, inland transport, customs, trade finance and regulatory processes are becoming increasingly data-driven with more full-fleet deployments arising in the market.

As connected containers and smart assets become more widely adopted, real time logistics data is providing greater operational visibility, supporting efficiency, enhancing transparency and augmenting compliance across the global trade ecosystem.

The shipping industry is evolving beyond Estimated Times of Arrival (ETAs), shifting toward actionable decision points that enable more effective management across the entire supply chain network. This represents a significant change in how the industry operates. Trusted, real-time container data has the potential to become a new digital foundation for global trade.

But technology alone is not enough. To address industry needs at scale, the data must be auditable, secure, governed, standards-aligned and usable across the wider trade and logistics ecosystem.

The strategic focus of the global EY organization is to transform connected containers, smart assets and logistics data into trusted operational intelligence for global trade. Working with industry leaders and collaborating organizations, EY member firms combine capabilities in shipping, logistics, governance, compliance, risk, finance, technology and operate services to help facilitate secure, scalable and industry-wide adoption.
