For Commercial shipowners

Shipowners use Seaber for maximizing fleet TCE

Together with Seaber’s offering for charterers, we can jointly improve operational efficiency and reduce emissions by optimizing pre-fixture and scheduling functions and port calls and avoid unnecessary repositioning of vessels.

Your challenge

In a turbulent and competitive market, shipowners face challenging decisions over how best to optimize the scheduling and operation of their fleet. But until now, access to and the quality of the data used to support these decisions has fallen far short of the standard required.

Every day, owners are making calls on the vessel positions, routing choices, cargoes, port calls, ballast voyages, and more. But their options are based on information that is not just imperfect and partial, old and siloed, but also dynamic.

What’s more, with the urgency to reduce shipping’s carbon footprint and its wider environmental impact, owners also face growing pressure to improve the fuel efficiency of their fleet.

How can shipping companies give themselves a better chance of making the right decisions to optimize their fleet performance and profit?
