Evergreen has selected Navis’ StowMan Control Center and Distributed Services and Vessel Pool to optimise its stowage operations with the Taiwanese ocean carrier and the maritime software solutions provider Navis signing a multiyear subscription agreement.
Navis said its solution provides “highly efficient cargo capacity management and the safest possible sailing for the vessel in all situations.”
“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 at operation department of Evergreen Marine Corp. (Taiwan) Ltd.
He added, “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.”
StowMan uses the full scope of the stability and stress calculations, slot definitions and highly advanced lashing calculations of the onboard Navis loading computer, currently making it the most integrated and comprehensive stowage system in the container industry, according to a statement.
Navis added that StowMan Control Center and Distributed Services provides a scalable framework to transform the stand-alone tool, StowMan, into a connected client-server setup, while maintaining full offline planning capabilities.
“The challenging situations that we have seen at sea in the past few months require a new approach to marine cargo transportation in order to address the variety of demands that ocean carriers are facing,” said Ajay Bharadwaj, senior director product management at Navis, who went on to point out that “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.”
