Understanding Port Pair Aggregation: What You Need to Know
The maritime industry is shifting from tradelane-based reporting to a more precise and flexible method: port-pair aggregation.
In this update from Smart Freight Centre Academy, we explain what this change means for emissions data users, logistics professionals, and sustainability teams. Port-pair aggregation offers a more granular view of emissions, enabling carrier-specific benchmarking and industry-wide comparisons based on exact origin–destination pairs.
Key benefits of the new approach:
Wider coverage: Includes direct and likely single-transshipment routes, reducing data gaps.
Clearer insights: Voyage counts are included in downloads to help assess data reliability.
Flexible benchmarking: Compare carrier-specific data against the industry average for exact port-pairs.
Simplified downloads: Access both individual carrier data and consolidated industry averages
