# How Performance Monitoring Works

Vizion Performance Monitoring provides the most granular level of data for enhancing decisions, with data correlated to port performance, port pairs, and port activity. By focusing on three essential port performance data sets, Vizion offers the actionable insights you need to ensure that high-stakes shipments stay on track.

## GHG Monitoring

The Greenhouse Gas CO2 Monitoring report provides analytics-ready data that enables cargo owners and freight forwarders to obtain accurate CO2 emission values for their shipments tracked with the Vizion API.

### Accurate

Obtain precise CO2 data to accompany your tracked container at the completion of its multimodal journey.

### Save Money

Shippers can evaluate the sustainability performance of their suppliers by assessing the sourcing practices, the environmental and social responsibilities.

### Coordinate

The response includes Scope 3 emissions, encompassing CO2e Well-to-Wheels (WTW) emissions for the shortest route, with detailed breakdowns of emissions from main engines, auxiliary engines, and boilers.

## Port Performance

By leveraging historical vessel volumes and processing times, Vizion’s Port Performance Data Set enables end-users to develop a data-driven understanding of vessel and container throughput. With actionable insights into historical performance, end-users can then make informed decisions when route-planning and scheduling.

### Performance is Key

Prioritizing container journey performance provides end-users with an at-a-glance understanding of end-to-end container and vessel processing.

### Actionable Awareness

Global vessel events ensure that end-users maintain awareness over the events affecting their high-priority container shipments.

### Maximum Customization for Insights

Customizable time-frames allow for easy comparison of data aggregations.

### Port Pairs

Vizion’s Port Pairs Data Set uses the latest U.S. Customs data to develop a volume-based metric for understanding of container volumes at any U.S. port. By harnessing U.S. Customs data to build an industry-wide understanding of container volumes, end-users can build dynamic awareness of the relationship between global ports of lading and U.S. ports of discharge.

### Data-Driven Insight

With standardized container volumes from all U.S. ports ranked by port for YTD and prior two weeks, the Port Pairs Data Set provides end-users with unparalleled industry awareness.

### Dynamic Intelligence

The ability to group shipments by port of lading and port of discharge enables shippers to access an at-a-glance global view of containerized freight operations.

### Answer the Big Questions

With Port Pairs Data Sets, shippers can get answers to the big questions: What are the latest import trends? Do my preferred ports have seasonality issues? Which black swan events are taking a toll on U.S. containerized freight?

## Port Activity

With Vizion’s Port Activity Data Set, end-users can access near real-time vessel and container movement metrics. On-demand access to real-time, core port activity metrics allows shippers to access invaluable insights, including the number of vessels at berth at a given terminal, average berth time, and average container dwell times.

### Build Accurate Understanding

With near real-time visibility over port activities, end-users can build an accurate understanding of port side operations, including vessel volumes, import dwell times, and the average time a vessel spends in a given state.

### Real-Time Reliability

Vizion’s Port Activity Data Set is updated hourly, giving shippers as close to a real-time understanding of container and vessel position as possible. Standardized, actionable data allows for the quick decision-making demanded in today’s maritime landscape.

### Averaged Data for Future Performance

By including and averaging import dwell times, end-users build an on-the-ground understanding of current import conditions at busy ports.
