“Short Shipped” refers to a situation where cargo intended for a specific vessel does not get loaded onto that vessel as originally planned. It implies that the goods have been missed or omitted from the intended shipment. This can occur due to various reasons, including operational errors, scheduling changes, capacity constraints, or miscommunication between the shipper, carrier, and port authorities. Short shipping can result in delays, disruptions in the supply chain, and potential financial implications for both the shipper and the recipient. It requires immediate attention to investigate the cause and determine appropriate corrective measures, such as arranging for alternative transportation or rescheduling the cargo for the next available vessel to minimize further impacts on the logistical operations.
