It shows when the vessel will arrive at each port on the voyage, and how much cargo will be on board. The board highlights how you perform against your contractual constraints, thus shaping awareness of both scheduling challenges, potentials and reducing your waiting time and missed laycans.
Fuel Efficiency with Integrated Fleet Deployment and Bunker Management
When it comes to optimising fuel management across any fleet, planning and preparation are critical. While zero-emission fuel infrastructure is not yet in place, you can still optimise your ship routes to save money, optimise vessel use, streamline operations, and help you make the most of every drop of fuel. This will reduce carbon emissions in the planning phase to moderately influence the fuel consumption and our sustainability targets by coordinating ship movements and cargo loading.
