Windward has announced the launch of Route Deviation (RDV) exception, a new capability part of Windward’s Ocean Freight Visibility solution, to flag route changes caused due to the geopolitical crisis in the Red Sea, reports PR Newswire.
Minimizing disruptions to the supply chain
The new capability provides stakeholders with early alerts of changes to container shipments that have shifted away from entering the Red Sea, enhancing visibility and enabling them to efficiently adapt to changes and mitigate negative outcomes. As of the week of December 17th, 2023, Windward’s data shows a two-year low of area visits in Bab-el-Mandeb for container vessels, which marks a decrease of 27% compared to the weekly average in 2023.
The newly launched route deviation capability will provide stakeholders with enhanced visibility, enabling them to anticipate challenges and develop contingency plans, thus minimizing disruptions to the supply chain and allowing them to manage costs more effectively. Early knowledge of impacted shipments enables companies to optimize their operations, whether it’s adjusting timelines or reallocating resources to ensure timely delivery.
