Aloke’s Answer

Ocean transport (maritime transportation) is not dying anytime soon. Ocean transportation methods are slower but also cheaper due to volume optimization. Many manufacturing companies who use a long term planning-forecasting based approach in their supply chain still rely on ocean transportation to get the most effective deliveries for their raw materials. Manufacturing companies categorize their raw materials into groups - A type, B type and C type, depending on the value and urgency of the commodity in their manufacturing process. The C type parts are the low value high volume kind of materials which are generally planned in bulk way in advance. These are the kind of products which are generally put in ocean containers to get the cheapest method of transportation. Ocean transportation is not dying out anytime soon especially as more and more companies focus on reducing their costs in their supply chain!

Geri’s Answer

Hi Aloke, Ocean Transport is alive and well.
I write software for the Transportation Industry and the volume of loads my customers pick up and deliver to shipyards is keeping them very busy.
Now that factories are once again opening in the U.S. we are starting to see more raw materials being shipped.
I don't know if Coronoviris has caused a slowdown.

Hope this helps.
Have a great day, Geri

Geri recommends the following next steps:

Contact some shipyards and get their impression.
Talk to some of the larger carriers in your area that haul containers.
Thank you comment icon Sklar B., I'm sorry, I replied to Alake and not you. Just getting started in this and should have paid closer attention. Thanks, Geri Geri Sudman
