CARA is an integration platform to help enhance communication and cooperation between shipping carriers. None of the shipping carriers supply tonnage and use space autonomously. Every shipping carrier maintains a joint operation and alliance collaboration structure in slot selling/purchase and slot swap by collaboration with other shipping carriers.
Ocean carriers pursue the expansion in frequency and coverage by promoting and maintaining collaboration between ocean carriers. Also, it is expanding its range through collaboration with regional specialized shipping carriers.
CARA supports maintaining schedule sharing, slot amount confirmation and sharing, slot price confirmation and sharing, and various strategic collaborations between different shipping carriers.
