Sustained rerouting around the 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲 and the 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘂𝘇 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘀 have sharply increased fuel exposure across ocean freight.
𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀 have made fuel-related costs materially larger and harder to predict.

The impact reaches beyond logistics teams. It affects 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗱, 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 and 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.

The issue is not that surcharges exist.

A new analysis from VesselBot's Founder and CEO, Constantine Komodromos explores:
• why 𝗕𝗔𝗙 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 cannot be standardized across carriers
• how 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 is shaping surcharge governance
• and what 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 provides to procurement, finance, and sustainability teams.

The VesselBot team is on the ground in Barcelona, actively participating in the sessions and conversations shaping the supply chain agenda for the year ahead.

𝗥𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘄, 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸, 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲. The theme sets the right direction.

From 𝗔𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 to 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, these are topics VesselBot works on every day with global shippers, and the team is here to contribute to the discussion.

If any of these priorities are on your agenda, book a meeting with 𝗩𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗕𝗼𝘁 𝗖𝗘𝗢 Constantine Komodromos.

𝗚𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘂𝗺/𝗫𝗽𝗼™ 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗮 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗩𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗕𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲.

The agenda covers the four conversations every 𝗖𝗦𝗖𝗢 is navigating right now: 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆, 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀. Operationally, they are deeply connected. Because supply chains that cannot access 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿, 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 will struggle to:
• 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹
• 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
• 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀
• 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲

In VesselBot's collaboration with global shippers, these four challenges consistently converge on the same issue: 𝗔 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.

Closing that gap is where 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 becomes operationally relevant; not only for sustainability and compliance, but across procurement, planning, resilience, and operational ex*****on.

The conversations on the agenda this year are ones where VesselBot has a 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲, grounded in how logistics networks actually operate.
