Inland shipping companies and river logistics providers operate in a sector with strongly variable water levels, complex lock planning, high fuel costs, and stringent shipping regulations. AI agents automate the cargo planning, route optimization, and compliance flows.
Cargo Planning and Load Factor Optimization
An AI agent manages the cargo planning flow: incoming cargo requests are automatically matched with available vessel capacity based on weight, volume, hazard status, loading and unloading locations, and time windows. Load factor is automatically optimized through smart combination of partial loads.
- Cargo matching: automatically on capacity, route, and time window
- Load factor: automatically optimized via partial load combination
- Cargo confirmation: automatically upon acceptance of assignment
- Loading instructions: automatically generated per vessel and per cargo
Lock Planning and Voyage Optimization
Lock planning and voyage optimization are operationally critical for inland vessels. An AI agent manages the voyage planning flow: expected waiting times at locks are automatically calculated based on current lock schedules and historical waiting time data. Optimal departure time and speed are automatically calculated to minimize total voyage time.
- Lock waiting time: automatically calculated per lock on route
- Departure optimization: automatically for minimum total voyage time
- ETA calculation: automatically and continuously updated
- Port notifications: automatically submitted per port of call
Shipping Compliance and Certificate Management
Shipping compliance and certificate management are legally required and operationally critical for inland shippers. An AI agent manages the compliance flow: expiry dates of all shipping certificates are automatically monitored.
Match-AI implements AI agents for inland shipping companies, river logistics providers, shipping companies on inland waterways, bulk water transporters, hazardous goods transporters (ADN-certified), container inland shippers, and combined multimodal transport companies that want to automate their cargo planning, voyage optimization, and compliance.
