Maersk goes live with Cargosphere Digital Rate Distribution


CargoSphere , the neutral rate network for container shipping, announced that Maersk Line has


gone live with digital,


fully-automated distribution of its contract rates and amendments. Maersk Line is now digitally


distributing its rates to shipper, freight forwarder and NVOCC customers using CargoSphere eSUDS (electronic Smart Upload and Diagnostics Solution) and the CargoSphere Rate Mesh. A powerful solution that is highly complementary


to Maersk’s


online quoting solutions. Benefits to customers of 100% digital rate distribution


include time and cost savings, improved data accuracy, online access to timely rates for better decision making, faster reconciliation of invoices and faster quoting to customers for freight forwarders and NVOCCs. According to Neil Barni,

Port of Oakland project seen as key to future


A freight distribution center placing high-demand logistics capability inside a global trade gateway will soon take shape at the Port of Oakland. Port officials recently announced that work should begin this fall on a long-awaited Seaport Logistics Complex. The complex is envisioned as a cargo-handling campus that could change the trajectory of Port business. Currently a West Coast terminus for Transpacific trade vessels, Oakland could eventually double as a major freight distribution point. “This is our future,” said Port of Oakland Maritime Director John Driscoll.


“The Seaport


Logistics Complex will give freight shippers the opportunity to manage international supply chains right next door to the rail yards and marine terminals where their cargo is transported.” CenterPoint Properties is building CenterPoint Landing, the first 440,000-sq. ſt. facility at the complex. CenterPoint executives say site preparation on its 27-acre leased parcel should begin by October. The tentative schedule calls for construction to begin next spring. The building is expected to open by summer 2020.


CenterPoint’s $52 million facility will be constructed at Maritime and 14th streets in the heart of the Port.


The property once


served as an Army supply depot. The Army decommissioned its Oakland base in the late 1990s. The Port received about 240 acres of the property between 2003 and 2007.


planners have imagined a logistics campus that could further strengthen Oakland’s role as a global trade gateway. The plan eventually calls for a complex with multiple buildings for warehousing or distribution. The Seaport Logistics Complex is envisioned as a transload center where shippers can ready cargo for transfer from ships to trucks or rail. Transloading has become increasingly popular with supply chain managers pursuing cost- effective transport alternatives. CenterPoint officials
