• Key Concepts: 
  Lost slots refer to the number of containers that are not loaded onto a vessel due to a lack of space. This can occur when the vessel is overbooked or when the containers are too large to fit on the vessel. Lost slots can also occur when a container is damaged or when it is not loaded in time for the vessel's departure. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The TM-ADP-CSL-NAO Network & Operations for Container Shipping Liners component of SAP helps to manage lost slots by providing visibility into the number of containers that are not loaded onto a vessel. This allows users to identify potential issues and take corrective action before the vessel departs. The component also provides detailed information about each container, including its size, weight, and other characteristics, which can help users determine if a container is too large or too heavy for the vessel. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to monitor lost slots closely as they can have a significant impact on the profitability of a voyage. To minimize lost slots, it is important to ensure that all containers are loaded in time and that they meet the size and weight requirements of the vessel. Additionally, it is important to ensure that vessels are not overbooked and that there is enough space for all containers.
