SMART Analytics provides essential visibility for maritime acceleration

(Posted on 07/07/25)

Data alone doesn’t solve problems. It is the ability to propel data into transformative action that sets leading companies apart. SMART Analytics by Carga is delivering the insight and visibility maritime teams need to make faster, more profitable decisions across the entire cargo movement lifecycle.

Integrating validated data from vessel movements, terminal operations, port activity, and statements of facts into operational intelligence for dynamic utilisation, SMART Analytics is the centralised view of performance benchmarking and root cause analysis that turns guesswork into clarity and insight into action.

Without understanding the root cause of inefficiencies, companies risk exhausting cost and time on the wrong resources without improving critical operations. That’s why instead of simple dashboards and metrics, SMART Analytics focuses on the maritime activities behind the numbers via interactive drill downs. For example, if struggling with repetitive delays that drive up demurrage fees, users can gain clear understandings of the root cause issues by seeing when the delays occurred, where, why, how often, and by every party involved enabling companies to make strategic changes and mitigate costly operations.

Whether a senior VP or seasoned scheduler, when pivotal decisions are made, comprehensive operational data needs to be leveraged. SMART Analytics not only eliminates data silos but also consolidates information from multiple sources, including vessel tracking, terminal logs, berth activity, weather conditions, and regulatory compliance. The result is a single, interactive platform that enables faster, more informed decision-making at the dock and in the boardroom.

SMART Analytics produces:

• Performance data across terminals, vessels, and ports to navigate faster turnaround times and asset utilisation.
• Multi-source data validation & enrichment, ensuring data accuracy and reliability with cross-verified inputs from leading industry sources.
• Root cause analysis of demurrage, idle times, delays, and congestion for strategic corrective action.
• Automated distribution of reports and data extracts, ensuring clarity and communication across all parties.
• Complete configurability for custom KPIs, benchmarking, and reporting.

By tying events to outcomes, SMART Analytics helps maritime teams shift from reactive problem-solving to proactive, strategic planning at every level.

Built by the maritime industry for the maritime industry, SMART Analytics provides users with access to one of the industry’s most comprehensive repositories of cargo logistics, maritime activities, and data analytics on the market. It is why SMART Analytics is trusted by cargo owners across the world to inform their decisions and accelerate their operations. By combining internal data sources with Carga data, users receive unparalleled insight for a global perspective of the cargo logistics chain. Whether you are optimising port calls or overseeing global cargo flows, the platform provides a strategic advantage unmatched in the industry.
