Output
The e-CMR has now been put into use in a number of places. As a result, concrete and measurable results are available, including – but not limited to – the following:
Reduction of transaction costs
Thousands of lorries pick up and return containers at the terminals every day. It is estimated that the total transaction costs of the paper CMR are on average € 4.50 per transaction. By applying the E-CMR, these transaction costs within the chain are reduced by 90%. Transporters, terminals and shipping companies see returns increase due to faster transaction processing.
Availability of information
The transport sector is attractive for serious crime such as human and drug smuggling or theft of valuable goods. Digital availability of information ensures that the government’s insight into the logistics process is increased. The benefits of this include:
- Limiting damage through early identification of various forms of fraud
- Exception check is possible
- The control process can partly take place outside the terminal
