FAQ

What is a feeder service, and why is it important ?

Feeder services are maritime transport services that connect smaller ports with larger hub ports. They play a crucial role in the global shipping network by distributing and collecting cargo to and from regions that may not be directly served by mainline operators. This ensures the efficient flow of goods between various locations.

How do feeder services impact supply chain efficiency ?

Feeder services enable shippers to access larger, hub ports without relying solely on mainline operators, allowing for more efficient routing and reducing transit times. They help to distribute cargo across different modes of transportation, such as rail and trucking, which contributes to supply chain efficiency and cost optimization.

What factors should I consider when selecting a feeder operator ?

When choosing a feeder operator, consider their track record for reliability, frequency of sailings, transit times, customer service, and pricing. Additionally, look for operators that offer services tailored to your specific cargo needs and have experience handling your goods.

Many feeder operators have implemented environmental initiatives to reduce their carbon footprint and comply with emissions regulations. This includes investing in fuel-efficient vessels, optimizing routing, and exploring the use of alternative fuels or renewable energy sources. Some operators also participate in industry-wide programs like the Clean Shipping Index or the Environmental Ship Index.

How has digitalization impacted the operations of feeder services ?

Digitalization has transformed the shipping industry, with feeder operators leveraging technology to streamline processes and enhance visibility across the supply chain.
