Avoiding cargo securing bottlenecks in the Chemical supply chain

Worldwide sales of chemicals have more than doubled since 2005.

Chemical manufacturers have had to adapt the way they do business and manufacture worldwide. Identifying new growth opportunities wherever they might occur. Developing ways of working and strategic partnerships to exploit them.

In this new environment, ensuring that supply chains are as adaptable and efficient as possible is crucial. Even as they become more complex. Which must be done whilst keeping safety in transit as an absolute priority.

Potential supply chain problems caused by loading dock bottlenecks

Eliminating bottlenecks is key to minimizing total cost of ownership (TCO) and optimizing logistics. They can impose high risk and threaten profitability. One key area where bottlenecks can arise is at the loading dock. Containers need to be secured safely and quickly. But frequently inefficient securing methods such as wood blocking or adhesive systems are used at this critical point. Slowing down the whole supply chain and affecting TCO.

The global chemical supply chain is too complex and important to be compromised at the loading dock. At Cordstrap, we work in partnership with our customers in the industry to keep their cargo safe. And give them the peace of mind of knowing that their TCO is minimized and their supply chain uncompromised during cargo securing.
