# Shipping Events EU Dataset
## Overview
This dataset contains simulated yet realistic shipment tracking records from various European locations. It reflects common logistics patterns, including parcel movements, delivery statuses, geographic attributes, carriers, delivery attempts, region types, transit performance, and service-level indicators.
It is designed to be suitable for machine learning, analytics, research, and operational benchmarking. The dataset structure is aligned with real-world logistics data models and includes temporal, geographic, categorical, and status event features.
Each row represents a shipment with key delivery and transit attributes.
