Container ship stuck at the Suez Canal has brought the focus to the global logistics and its vulnerability. As Suez example showed, in the global logistics the operations need to run smoothly since one hick-up may cause major delays and losses for several companies. When it comes to water transport, the container weighing is one of the most important activities at the ports. It will ensure that the cargo in the vessel is loaded correctly, meets the regulations and ensures the safety during the operations. Correct weighing data does not only ensure the right load, but also quickens ship turn-round time and minimizes cargo-handling cost.
