Joining a technology platform like TradeLens only adds to our capability to deliver best-in-class  service and visibility to our supply chain partners,” said Doron Grosman, President & CEO of GCT.  ”As competition increases from other ports and customer demands intensify, we need to activate every solution to increase cargo velocity through our terminals and improve performance.”

TradeLens is rapidly expanding with five of the world's top six ocean carriers and ten of GCT's ocean carrier customers committed to the platform. 

“We are pleased to see more leading organizations from across the shipping industry sign on to the platform.
