Why is Shipping Quality Standards Important for a Seafood Business?
As for someone who works in the seafood business, you may no longer be wondering whether or not shipping quality standards matter. You also already know that quality isn’t just about offering a product or service that exceeds the standard, but it’s about the reputation of the company you’re having business with. Thus, you have to choose carefully which supplier has fancy shipping quality and pay attention to the quality standards even if they’re facing obstacles of seafood exporters.
Below are the obstacles of seafood exporter in the seafood industry and the logistics providers that support it, which shows that the obstacles of seafood exporter might affect shipping quality standards:
- Lack of Vessel Data Capture
Some seafood exporters suffer from a lack of record-keeping and less than robust mechanisms to ascertain where, when, how, by whom, and what was caught by each vessel. This results in lapses in resource management. These records are extremely essential to determining the sustainability and legality of a product, as well as stock health. Data pertaining to the sustainability and health of the stock dictate how quickly it needs to be delivered and by what means.
To tackle these obstacles of seafood exporters, it should always demand records on catch origin along with the conventional logbook that captures information on the total weight, price, and species.
- Cost of Transportation and Delays
Even after optimized routing, ocean freight delivery may take longer than expected due to congestion at ports, natural disasters, social uprisings, and serious equipment shortages. Ocean freight shipping is more vulnerable to such disruptions that can wreak havoc on the entire shipping schedule–and viability of the seafood product.
Although there are obstacles of seafood exporters which are beyond the control of the exporter, exporters must continue to strive to minimize seafood products damage during shipping so that they will arrive safely.
