“Our objective was to find a provider of sailing schedule data whereby users can query carrier sailing schedules to use on our platform“, said Mark Storen, CEO of Vortecx. “When Vortecx approached us, they were looking for ETD departures 3 months out, frequently updated, and our API met their requirements“, according to David Tarizzo, co-founder of Linescape. “After a free trial, they were able to sign up to one of our API plans and start working the same day“.
Linescape hosts the container sailing schedules from over 120 shipping lines, including deep-sea, short-sea and feeders, with some 8 million schedules through 250,000 unique port pairs by more than 4,000 cargo and container vessels. Data includes a wide variety of in-depth information including: sailing schedules, vessel register data, carrier profiles and local carrier contacts. Linescape pioneered data feeds in 2010 and is now the leading schedule data supplier to shippers, forwarders, logistic providers, port communities and digital logistics platforms and supply chain visibility providers.
