Drewry and LLamasoft software announce partnership

A partnership between Drewry Maritime Research and supply chain software firm Llamasoft will make Drewry’s ocean container and airfreight rate benchmarks available to LLamasoft customers for supply chain design, according to a company statement. 

LLamasoft will resell Drewry’s Container Freight Insight and Sea and Air Shipper Insight benchmarking products as part of the new LLamasoft Data Services offering.

Drewry publishes container freight rate benchmarks on over 600 international trade routes and several aggregated indexes in its Container Freight Rate Insight. In its Sea and Air Shipper Insight publication, it provides airfreight rate benchmarks on 21 East-West trades. The data is a key component in modeling new supply chain and transportation networks, according to the statement.

“Drewry is the gold standard for ocean rates, benchmarking and analysis. Missing or incomplete data remains one of the biggest hurdles to overcome in most supply chain design efforts,” said LLamasoft president and CEO Donald Hicks. “This partnership continues to deliver on our commitment to solve the missing data problem for LLamasoft customers and ensure that every supply chain design study or project is a success.”
