(PRESS RELEASE) SCHINDELLEGI, 26-Feb-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — Kuehne+Nagel has expanded its seaexplorer customer platform, incorporating end-to-end inland haulage lead times for full container loads (FCL) and sailing schedules for less than container loads (LCL). Seaexplorer users now have access to comprehensive data information for both FCL and LCL shipments within a single platform. The integration offers shippers a holistic view of Kuehne+Nagel’s shipping network, including schedules, routing details, service structures, disruption alerts and crucial sea logistics news.

The end-to-end lead time for FCL shipments provides valuable insights for users when planning supply chains. It encompasses lead times from inland locations to ports and vice versa.
