The Industry Blueprint

• Pre-Shipping phase includes the activities that are executed before the carrier picked up the cargo
• Liner Operation phase includes all planning and operational activities around arrival, port stay and departure of vessels.
• The Post-Shipping phase includes the subsequent intermodal transport (rail, barge, truck) after the carrier delivered the cargo at the terminal, including reporting, warehousing and arrival of cargo at the end destination.

• The Shipment Journey covers all activities documentation processes related to a customer's order from booking to payment. It are mainly customer-driven processes (and/or triggered by the customer) and processes executed in relation to an agreement made between the customer and the carrier, which is later invoiced and settled.
• The Equipment Journey covers all activities and documentation processes directly related to containers and/or physical container movements from pick-up to return and documentation processes directly related to containers and/or physical container movements.
• The Vessel Journey covers all activities and documentation processes related to one vessel and the relevant port calls in relation to the transport of one shipment from departure to arrival. The activities are required to execute a port call successfully and preparation of vessel arrival and follow-up post vessel departure.

By making use of the BPMN-standard we modelled the business process. Through the the multi-level model we're able to generate a complete overview of the container industry.
