Ports and Maritime

The Ports and Maritime industry is challenged by global port competition, road and rail congestion, environmental considerations, lack of new infrastructure and other issues.

In turn, supply chains around the world are affected by all these issues, as well as by evolving port security requirements, carrier service costs, and the fluctuations of global economies.

Maritime Freight ShippingTompkins Associates can analyze your current or intended route and determine the possibilities and restrictions. With our tools, you can look up the supply chain from the distribution center to the point of origin.

You can also reduce expenses through our analysis of your supply chain’s efficiency. We pinpoint the type of improvements that can be made to increase your supply chain’s physical capacity, reliability, flexibility, and speed as it relates to Ports & Maritime.

Select an ocean carrier, intermodal rail carrier, trucking firm, air cargo carrier or other transportation provider, including 3PLs, with confidence using our sourcing strategies. With Tompkins Associates’ expertise, you can fully understand the economic impact that your freight route has within your supply chain today and in the long run.

We can also help you navigate the changing security requirements that affect your supply chain’s route through the maritime and multimodal transportation network. A solid security plan will strengthen your supply chain against theft, terrorism or other threats to your logistical procedures, physical processes and support technologies based on ever- changing governmental policies.

Tompkins Associates assists you in answering the key question, “What should my global supply chain look like?” We consider all the elements throughout the modules of your supply chain, including:

  • Supply chain control and visibility
  • Multi-modal integration
  • Terminal layout, access, capacity and productivity
  • Road and rail infrastructure capacity
  • Labor supply
  • Trucker and drayage supply
  • Security policies, processes and procedures
  • Environmental concerns
  • Legislative initiatives/ Governmental intervention
  • Customs and duty drawbacks with analysis
  • Carrier selection and negotiation strategy
