Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has announced that it has reached an agreement with premier technology startup NYSHEX.
According to MSC, the partnership aims to digitise the performance monitoring of its ocean freight contracts.
NYSHEX assists carriers, shippers, and Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers (NVOCCs) in monitoring the performance of its commercial agreements. Its technology uses a cloud-based platform to digitise these agreements, including critical terms, allocations, and service levels and compares it to current booking data, container milestones, and vessel timetables via automated processes.
