ALLIES TO HELP SHIPPING LINES ENHANCE COMPETITIVENESS
The exchange of information among shipping alliance members will be made easier and more efficient with ALLIES, an ” Alliance Hubbing Solution” offered by Portnet. com, a subsidiary of PSA Corporation.
Kevin Pomeroy, principal engineer at Bristol City Docks, explains: “The lock gates are over 50 years old and the time had come to restore them. The gates are of riveted steel construction, with greenheart timber at the mitre and heel.
Targeted at improving alliance operations and slot sharing arrangements, ALLIES streamlines information exchange on slot forecasting, slot utilisation reporting and vessel schedules among shipping partners, as a single integrated platform for them to exchange and consolidate information.
Management information can also be generated automatically through ALLIES. This will facilitate better planning and maximise slot utilisation of vessels for shipping line partners.
