Use cases

Track, compare and validate ocean schedules across carriers and lanes 

With Xeneta Ocean Schedules you can use service performance data to plan shipments, validate schedules, and avoid operational surprises caused by unreliable ocean services.

The challenge

 Ocean schedules rarely perform as planned

Logistics Operations teams must plan and execute shipments based on fragmented, inconsistent schedule data, without visibility into how services actually perform in practice.

 Services are awarded based on rates, not execution reliability 

 Delays, blank sailings, and missed port calls are discovered too late 

 No single source of truth for service relaibiltiy

How Xeneta Helps

Close the Gap with Schedules

Xeneta Schedules provides Logistics Operations and Procurement teams with a standardized, carrier-neutral view of how ocean services actually perform over time.

By aggregating structural schedules, blank sailing intelligence, and service reliability into one integrated experience, teams can validate service behaviour before planning shipments or awarding contracts.

 

 

Schedules_1

Built for transparency 

What makes us different: we measure proforma vs actual performance, not carrier forecasts vs actuals.

Xeneta tracks vessel movements against the official structural schedule. This gives you an unbiased view of operational reliability, free from carrier influence.

Cancel rates across services, carriers & lanes

What You Can Achieve With Xeneta Schedules

Plan shipments with real performance data

Use carrier-neutral schedule intelligence to make routing and procurement decisions.

Validate Service Reliability Before Booking

Understand how services actually perform before committing to transit times.

Avoid Last-Minute Operational Surprises

 Detect and explain delays, cancellations  and missed port calls early.

Award Contracts Operations Can Execute

Enable Procurement to select services aligned with execution needs.

Benchmark Carrier Performance by Lane

Compare reliability across services for specific port-port pairs.

One Platform. One Truth. No More Patchwork.

Frequently asked questions

What data sources does Xeneta use?

 Xeneta Ocean Schedules is powered by data from our 2024 acquisition of eeSea and its carrier-provided schedules, combined with AIS (Automatic Identification System) vessel tracking data. This includes structural schedules from carriers, actual vessel movements tracked via AIS, port call data, capacity information, and blank sailing intelligence. 

Can I search by specific port pairs or corridors?

 Yes. All performance data is fully searchable by carrier, service (e.g., TP10, AE1), port-pair, corridor, and time period. For vessel search, it's available at the port-pair level. 

Can I integrate this data into my existing workflows?

 Yes. Ocean Schedules is embedded directly in the Xeneta platform and integrated with our rate and tendering datasets, allowing you to combine cost + reliability in one decision workflow. 

How do I get started?

 If you're already a Xeneta customer, Ocean Schedules is available now in your Explore or Achieve bundle. If you're new to Xeneta, book a demo to see how it works.
