Increase Visibility
SONAR Container Atlas data gives users a leading indicator of TEU volumes and rate pressures in container trade lanes. Rather than relying on customs data for lagging indicators of volume, Container Atlas users see the volumes being booked with carriers before vessels depart, at the point of origin.
Plan Ahead
SONAR Container Atlas allows users to understand and proactively address transportation management problems. Improve inventory processes and allocate assets with confidence.

Navigate Supply and Demand in Ocean Markets
Container Ship Lane Capacity
Container Atlas measures container ship capacity at a lane level in two ways: by the percentage of container bookings that are being rejected at the port of origin, and by the total capacity of the vessels allocated to services on a given lane. See how capacity changes over time and how carriers respond to volume pressures.
Lane-Level Intelligence
Gain the clearest image of current carrier capacity by selecting the origin and destination ports. See ocean container volumes as well as the percentage of rejected bookings, transit times and booking lead times, giving a holistic view of market conditions.
Best Port of Entry
Check container dwell times at ports of discharge to understand delays. Take into account transit times and congestion to make better decisions. Utilize FreightWaves SONAR’s surface-level transportation data to determine cost-effective deviations to the port of entry, such as dry van transport post-berth.
