Hapag-Lloyd signs up for XVELA pilot
German transportation specialist, Hapag-Lloyd, will become the first shipping company to use an innovative, cloud-based stowage-planning software developed by US supplier XVELA.
The pilot scheme will make stowage-planning and cargo data of the individual ships in port available in real-time to both the shipping company and the terminal, allowing ships to be deployed more efficiently.
Terminals will be able to allot equipment and staff in a timely and reliable fashion thanks to the transparency of stowage-planning for an expected ship.
Jörn Springer, head of Hapag-Lloyd’s Fleet Support Centre, said: “The more transparency there is throughout the transport chain, the more efficiently everyone involved can employ their assets and resources.”
“Cloud-based solutions such as XVELA can provide us with real-time data, making it possible for us to considerably improve the exchange of information with terminals,” he added.
