IPI/MLB 服务平均时间节点分析 - 保证时效到达服务(GES)
“IPI/MLB”和“GES”是美国进口物流中常见的术语,
特别是与海运集装箱到内陆点的运输服务相关。
下面是它们的具体解释:
🔵 IPI(Inland Point Intermodal)
内陆点多式联运运输服务
指从美国海港码头(如洛杉矶、长滩)通过铁路运输至内陆城市的服务,例如芝加哥、达拉斯、孟菲斯、纽约等。
在图中就是从“上海出发 → 美国码头 → 火车运输 → 最终内陆城市”的整个流程。
迷你陆桥运输
与IPI相似,但侧重于通过西海岸港口接收海运,再通过铁路或公路将集装箱运往东海岸或其他内陆地区。
MLB服务往往用于优化运输时间或成本,尤其当东海岸港口拥堵时。
保证时效到达服务
一种加速服务承诺,通常承运人或物流公司会承诺货物在某个时限内送达内陆目的地。
如果超时,客户可能获得一定的补偿或费用减免。
在图表中提到“GES”是表示该数据分析基于已购买此服务的运输,也就是说是以具有时效保障的服务为基准进行的时间点分析。
以上海出发,运往美国四个内陆城市的整体运输耗时拆解为:
🌊 海上航行时间(10.5~10.6天)
🚛 码头至火车站(1.8~2.2天)
🚂 火车发车至内陆站点到达(2.0~4.7天)
最终得出上海至各地的总运输天数:
芝加哥:14.9天
达拉斯:14.2天
孟菲斯:16.0天
纽约:17.4天
Shipping
and logistics are full of abbreviations and acronyms, and sometimes,
the same one can stand for multiple phrases.
航运和物流中充满了缩写和首字母缩略词,有时同一个缩写可以代表多个短语。
In this case, IPI in shipping refers interchangeably to inteor point intermodal and inland point intermodal. 在这种情况下,航运中的 IPI 可以互换地指代内陆点多式联运和内地点多式联运。
Regardless
of which 'I' word is preferred, the term IPI covers inbound freight
moves from a port to a shipper’s door within the country via a domestic
or international intermodal container.无论偏好哪个“I”字,IPI 这个术语涵盖了通过国内或国际多式联运集装箱从港口到达国内发货人门口的入境货运。
So
it's clear, the reason IPI can refer to either inland or interior is
because the two words reference the same type of location. 因此,很明显,IPI 可以指代内陆或内地的原因是这两个词指的是同一类型的位置。
IPI shipments typically move via truck for short distances and intermodal rail for long distances. IPI 货物通常通过卡车进行短距离运输,通过多式联运铁路进行长距离运输。
IPI and transloading are often intertwined, as while in some cases the load moves inland in its original ISO ocean container,IPI 和转运通常是交织在一起的,因为在某些情况下,货物以其原始的 ISO 海运集装箱形式向内陆移动,
it's often transloaded through a third party logistics provider (3PL) into a domestic intermodal container to continue its journey. The split may be about 50/50 in fact.但通常通过第三方物流提供商(3PL)转运到国内多式联运集装箱中继续其旅程。事实上,这种分配可能大约是 50/50。
IPI vs. MLB IPI 与 MLB
IPI
and MLB are often - just like inland and interior - used
interchangeably in freight and logistics. There is a key difference
though. IPI 和 MLB 经常像内陆和内地一样在货运和物流中被互换使用。然而,它们之间有一个关键的区别。
MLB
shipments go to another port, while IPI goes to the shipper's door. To
expand, MLB stands for mini land bridge (not Major League Baseball). MLB 货物运往另一个港口,而 IPI 则运到发货人的门口。具体来说,MLB 代表小陆桥(不是美国职业棒球大联盟)。
For example, a land bridge (or landbridge) is the land a shipment crosses after arriving from Asia on the west coast of the U.S. to reach an east coast destination. 例如,陆桥是指货物从亚洲抵达美国西海岸后,为了到达东海岸目的地而穿越的陆地。
In
other words, MLB refers to inbound freight moved via intermodal from
one port to another port - or a rail terminal in some cases. 换句话说,MLB 指的是通过多式联运从一个港口运到另一个港口的入境货物——或者在某些情况下运到铁路终端。
Again,
the type of movement is the same as IPI, but the difference is,
interior point intermodal brings the freight all the way to the shipper,
while a mini land bridge (MLB) move only gets it to another terminal.同样,运输方式与 IPI 相同,但区别在于,内地点多式联运(IPI)将货物直接送到发货人,而小陆桥(MLB)运输则仅将货物送到另一个终端。
What Is Reverse IPI? 什么是反向 IPI?
Reverse
IPI or RIPI is generally the same concept as interior point intermodal,
except that it involves the freight in essence backtracking over land.
In other words, 反向 IPI 或 RIPI 通常与内陆点多式联运的概念相同,只是它本质上涉及货物在陆地上的回溯。换句话说,
IPI typically refers to shipments that arrive at a west coast port continuing across land to their final destination. IPI 通常指的是到达西海岸港口的货物继续通过陆路运输到最终目的地。
But
in a reverse IPI scenario, the freight would arrive from Asia to an
east coast port - via the Panama Canal for instance - then move
intermodally back west to a final destination. 但在反向 IPI 的情况下,货物将从亚洲到达东海岸港口——例如通过巴拿马运河——然后以多式联运的方式向西返回到最终目的地。
The distinction means the shipment is technically traveling in reverse.这一区别意味着货物在技术上是逆向运输的。
