The successful supply chain is built on solid partnerships and attending Port Centric Logistics 2011 is a unique opportunity to meet and develop partnerships with the leaders in this field.
In 2011 we will build on last year’s success and once again bring together many of the UK’s retailers, distributors, manufacturers warehousing and port investors, port operators, shipping lines, road & rail logistics providers and other related service operators to discuss, debate and learn.
Attendees at our first event in 2010 were able to meet and hear from representatives from every type of business involved in developing and using port centric supply chains.
We have a limited number of sponsorship opportunities still available. Please contact Will Bixby on 020 7369 1650 or wbixby@ navigateevents.com for further details.
What is ‘Port Centric logistics’? As global trade becomes a more prominent activity for manufacturers and retailers, new solutions are required to manage and develop product supply chains. Lower cost solutions, more reliable deliveries and stock visibility are critical. Port centric logistics is not simply about moving a firm’s distribution network from an inland shed to a warehouse near a port. It is about enabling cargo owners to gain control of their supply chain costs and the timing of the movement of their goods. It opens-up each element of inland logistics costs and processes to full scrutiny and improvement.
The potential benefits of Port Centric logistics include: • Reduction or elimination of quay rent and demurrage bills; • Improved visibility of imported inventory (quantity & quality); • Increased ‘DC bypass’ and cross-docking; • Improved control of promotional volumes; • Reduction in deep-sea freight costs; • Reduced ‘factory to shelf’ unit logistics cost; • Reduced inventory across the supply chain; • Reduced carbon footprint.
