Case Study: Unilever achieves real-time ocean visibility and supply chain efficiency with Kpler MarineTraffic Container Intelligence

Unilever gains 24/7 visibility across 12,000 containers with Kpler

Unilever faced challenges in managing its complex global ocean freight operations, which involved thousands of containers and vessels. The lack of end-to-end visibility and operational silos made it difficult for the company to respond quickly to disruptions. To address this, Unilever worked with the vendor Kpler, utilizing its MarineTraffic Container Intelligence solution.

Kpler powered Unilever's Virtual Ocean Control Tower with advanced AIS data, providing real-time vessel positions and port congestion intelligence. This implementation gave Unilever 24/7 visibility across 12,000 containers on 1,500 ships, improved decision-making, and increased overall supply chain transparency and efficiency. The solution also enabled the company to forecast vessel arrivals up to six weeks in advance.
