Carl Bentzel is a busy man. Having worked for the US Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) since 2019, he currently tries to untangle the thick spider web of data exchange to do with the arrival of vessels in ports. The lack thereof inhibits the crunched maritime supply chain from operating efficiently. A crucial part of cataloging the status quo happens via the Maritime Transportation Data Initiative, which the federal commissioner has been leading since the end of 2021. In weekly meetings, different stakeholders of the supply chain - on the land side via trucking companies, terminal operators, and forwarders - had the chance to identify gaps in data definitions. |
