The Story is Low Cost and Flexibility

Ken Lyon, OnOnShipping, online NVOCC

Most of the developed world is struggling to emerge from the grip of recession. This is in stark contrast to the economies of the developing world, who are exhibiting impressive rates of growth. It is probably going to be some time before the economies in Europe and elsewhere are able to sustain significant growth. This means that businesses are having to reset expectations as to what ‘business as usual’ actually means.

Over the past few years, the terms low cost, value and service have become the norm when describing the kinds of products and services that people are buying. The downturn has forced every business to focus only on the things that are essential for their operations. At the same time, the lack of funding has reduced budgets encouraging the ‘do more with less’ attitude. It is therefore no surprise that those companies who are able to provide great service at low cost are the ones doing well.

At OnOnShipping, we view this environment as the new normal and our goal is to be able to provide our customers with the best service at the lowest cost. To do this we are exploiting technology in innovative ways and also looking at how we can build the organisation in order to have the lowest operating costs. With all of these efforts, our primary yardstick is customer value and customer satisfaction. If we do this, we should be able to meet our goal of lowest rates combined with great service. This approach is not new and is best illustrated by low cost airlines such as Easyjet in the UK and Southwest in the United States. The success of these has prompted a wave of similar companies across the world. However, there is no equivalent in the maritime arena and we think it’s time that this changed. OnOn Shipping is the result.

TCC Releases Online Schedule Enquiry Using ARL’s e-Schedule Platform

TCC, The Containership Company, adds online schedule enquiries to their web-site using arl-shipping.com’s e-Schedule web platform.

COPENHAGEN, HONG KONG, August 16, 2010 – The TCC website, containership-company.com, now allows customers and business partners to query for suitable departures or arrivals, and to subscribe to updated email-schedules at their selected weekday and timing.

“Self-service, including online schedule enquiries, is a must for maintaining low costs as part of our no-frills approach to container shipping”, says Lars Jensen, director Marketing & IT from TCC. Lars, who has a past as director of youship.com, Maersk’s initiative for self-service liner services, continues: “Our online schedules are additionally available electronically for our booking partners consolidating cargo from smaller shippers and forwarders. Our partners can choose to re-publish the electronic schedules towards their own customers and use the schedules as a core for taking electronic bookings and giving online freight quotes”, he adds.

ARL’s CEO, Rene Bendt, supplements: “e-Schedule is capable of re-publishing and re-branding the core transport services offered by a shipping line like TCC, so TCC’s partner intermediaries can supplement the no-frills transport services offered by TCC with their own value-add services, like pick-up, delivery and multi-modal transport services, customs clearance, documentation and other supplementary services, leaving all players in the transport industry to focus on their core services and yet work seemingly together".

About TCC, The Containership Company

TCC is a new container shipping line focusing on delivering no-frills, simple and innovative services to the market.  TCC has pioneered a new service from Taicang, outside Shanghai, to Los Angeles – a service providing simple port to port transportation.

Already TCC has been nominated as one of only four finalists for the prestigious “Company of the Year” award in Lloyds List’s Global Awards. The nomination is on the grounds that TCC managed to successfully launch a container shipping company, with a new concept, at a time where the industry had the biggest downturn ever seen and global collective losses were approaching USD 20 billion.

Transport Provider version of the LCC Low-Cost Airline Model: Flexible Pricing to Optimize Yield and Utilization

Img
Do what low cost airlines have done for years - introduce flexible transport price to balance utilization across popular and less popular departures. The ultimate self-service offering!

ARL e-Yield is using a sophisticated pricing engine driven by market forecast profiles and utilization triggering parameters, allowing transport provider to utilize assets as much as possible, and thereby drive unit costs down. 

Prices offered are adjusted automatically by the platform, and alternative products to the primary products are released for booking, taking expected market conditions and actual booking status compared to expected booking volume relative to closing time into account.
