Container terminal yard from space, every week
How full each terminal yard looks, from space every week.
What it does
Every week: the latest clear satellite picture of each terminal in your table, with a note by xMap AI on how full the yard looks, emailed to the operations director.
In one sentence: Mondays at 08:00, take your table, get satellite pictures, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Yard congestion shows from above before it shows in delays. The director sees it every week.
