Open workshops that change how maritime professionals think, decide, and collaborate.

Run a liner service under pressure: capacity, pricing, customer demands, port disruptions, equipment constraints, and service recovery. You’ll compete and collaborate with peers from across the industry, then debrief with expert facilitators who have led shipping and supply-chain teams for decades. Leave with a clearer understanding of how decisions ripple across the end-to-end chain—and a stronger network to match.

Commercial and operational teams, finally on the same page

Operational clarity

Build a practical understanding of the end-to-end container shipping lifecycle, from booking and stowage to port calls and customer delivery.

Cross-functional collaboration

Break down silos between commercial, operational, and support teams by experiencing the same constraints and trade-offs together.

Strategic and commercial insight

Strengthen judgment around vessel economics, market cycles, customer requirements, and trade-offs that shape negotiation outcomes and service performance.

Industry networking with substance

Meet peers through shared problem-solving (not small talk). The game creates a natural environment for meaningful conversations and relationship-building across the ecosystem.

Talent and workforce development

Accelerate onboarding and upskill emerging leaders. Provides adjacent roles (IT, finance, HR, procurement) with a concrete, memorable view of how container liner shipping operations work.

Built on real liner shipping economics. Felt in every decision.

LinerGame mirrors real vessel demand cycles, constraints, and operational pressures. From booking intake and vessel planning through to port calls, stowage decisions, and cargo delivery, every decision carries immediate, visible consequences for service reliability, outcomes, and profitability.

What to expect on the day

Open Workshops are a general scenario design relevant across the industry, with emphasis adjusted on the day to match the roles in the room.

Full-day, in-person simulation where teams run a virtual liner service across several decision rounds.

Mixed groups from different organisations and functions compete and collaborate in the same scenario.

Short facilitator-led debriefs after each round link game results into real-world practice.

The built-in networking allows people to connect, exchange perspectives, and leave with new relationships.

LinerGame makes every stage visible and tangible in a way that months of on-the-job experience rarely does.

Each facilitator has 20–40+ years of experience in liner shipping and cargo container supply chain.

Over 150 sessions delivered since 2014, training 3,000+ participants in 30 countries.
