Dynamic Ocean
From intelligent booking to real-time tracking to automated documentation, Dynamic Ocean manages every step of your ocean freight. Carrier selection, contract management, D&D mitigation, exception management, and customer communication all within a single platform, powered by the FourKites Intelligent Network.
Dynamic Ocean automatically monitors every container for demurrage and detention exposure, prioritized by fee amount, cargo value, and urgency. When a container is at risk, the system surfaces it before charges start accruing — so your team acts on the alert, not the invoice.
Booking Connect for Ocean adds agentic carrier selection and booking execution directly inside FourKites. The AI evaluates every eligible carrier across cost, speed, reliability, and routing compliance — then automatically books the freight within your configured rules. Contract rates are digitized in seconds, routing guide policies are enforced, and documentation compliance runs from booking through customs clearance. No carrier portals. No email chains. No 4PL markup.
Dynamic Ocean ETAs are 27–37% more accurate than carrier ETAs, with 95%+ accuracy to final destination. Your customers get self-service tracking links, advance notice of delayed containers, and proactive updates powered by multilayered data — direct carrier integrations, AIS vessel transponders, terminal data, and schedule intelligence across 270,000+ ocean lanes.
More Confidence
Global shippers need visibility from door to door, not just port to port. FourKites’ market-leading Dynamic ETAs® are generated through each leg of the multimodal journey, so a delay at the port is automatically reflected in the ETA at the final destination. FourKites Dynamic ETAs® are 27–37% more accurate than carrier ETAs on average, with 95%+ accuracy to final destination.
More Control
Proactively manage delayed or at-risk inventory with the leading exception management tools. See which containers are — or will soon be — incurring fees, and prioritize those containers by the amount of incurred fees, the financial impact of goods or the type of cargo.
More Clarity
Terminals are where visibility typically breaks down. Dynamic Ocean connects every leg of the journey — port to port, terminal to terminal, ocean to dray — with milestone-level tracking across 750+ ports worldwide. When a booking is confirmed through Booking Connect, tracking begins automatically through the same infrastructure. No separate systems. No handoff gaps.
…with other modes, to truly differentiate ourselves in the market. Our customers and partners appreciate FourKites’ simple, modern interface, and the transparency it creates across their supply chain.”
