Updated Shipment Timeline on the Shippabo Platform

Each one of your shipments has a unique timeline within it, highlighting the ports the shipment is booked to route to and from, along with other important dates, such as estimated and actual departures and arrivals. To access your timeline, navigate to the Overview tab within the side panel of the shipment.

Viewing Options

Beneath the interactive map, you will see your shipment's timeline. The default will be the expanded version of the timeline, please note you can always collapse it if you prefer to have a simplified version of the timeline. To do so, just press the Collapse View button on the upper right side.

Important Details that Have been Added to your Timeline

Notably, as the cargo ready date is such a crucial date in your shipment, we've positioned this at the very top left of your timeline box, beneath “Shipment Stages”. It will remain visible regardless of what portion of your timeline you are viewing. Once each date on your timeline has occurred, it will update to green text with a check mark, to serve as a visual indicator that the step is confirmed.

Your demurrage and detention Last Free Days (LFD) have also been added to your timeline. These dates are highlighted in red, to communicate the crucial nature of these deadlines.

Interactivity of the Timeline

You'll notice that as you click into different stages of your timeline, the map will automatically update to match the stage that you are viewing in your timeline.

If your shipment has multiple stages which don't all fit on the screen, a horizontal scroll bar will appear on the bottom of your screen. The timeline will automatically highlight the next upcoming stage for your shipment. It will have a blue box outlining it. Similarly to the original timeline, the shipment mode icon will appear as a visual indicator as to where your shipment currently is on the timeline.
