Ships have for some time reported their positions through AIS transponders but a team from DNV GL have cleaned the data and then developed an algorithm that accurately predicts arrivals at ports: Veracity.
Norwegian paint manufacturer Jotun joined the Veracity pilot program and it became apparent that an early approximation for vessels future port visits could provide value to Jotun’s supply chain. A more comprehensive understanding of the movements of the global fleet allows Jotun to optimize their stock and delivery planning.
