The Taiwanese shipping line Evergreen Marine has signed a multi-year subscription agreement for Navis’ StowMan Control Center & Distributed Services and Vessel Pool to optimise its stowage operations.
The vessel stowage planning solution StowMan uses stability and stress calculations, slot definitions and advanced lashing calculations of the onboard Navis loading computer, according to a statement.
“With the ever-increasing complexity in the seaborne trade and the accelerated needs for larger volumes of cargo on ships, it is of utmost importance for us to find a balance between capacity maximisation and safe vessel operations in daily and in extraordinary situations,” said Captain Y.S. Hwang, deputy senior vice president, operation department at Evergreen Marine.
“With the Navis Stowage Planning solution, we are able to save time and costs by providing a fully integrated tool for more efficient and flexible operations to our central planner teams and their global collaboration,” added Hwang.
The StowMan Control Center and Distributed Services provides a scalable framework to transform StowMan into a connected client-server setup, while maintaining full offline planning capabilities.
Furthermore, Vessel Pool allows planners to always work with up-to-date ship profiles, according to Mavis, a provider of operational technologies and services for the global shipping industry.
“The Navis stowage solution has been set up to help liners focus on dynamic, efficient and profitable operations while providing the safest sailing possible for their vessels,” commented Ajay Bharadwaj, senior director of product management at Navis.
