GERMAN
container shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd is to test cloud-based
stowage-planning software from XVELA to improve data flow to and
from ports.
Through
the use of this cloud-based software, stowage-planning and cargo data of the
individual ships in ports will be available in real-time for both the shipping
company and the terminal.
The
aim is to reduce unexpected changes at short notice in the coastal schedule as
well as unnecessary waiting times for both sides, a statement from the carrier
said.
In
this way, the shipping company will be able to see the progress of loading and
unloading operations on an ongoing basis and can deploy its ships more
efficiently.
For
the terminals, there will be continual transparency regarding the state of stowage
planning for an expected ship, which will allow them to allot equipment and
staff in a timely and reliable fashion.
"The
more transparency there is throughout the transport chain, the more efficiently
everyone involved can make plans for and employ their assets and
resources," said Hapag-Lloyd fleet support centre chief Jorn
Springer.
