Success stories

Some of the best container shipping organizations in the world are taking a step forward implementing the right technology to reduce container repositioning costs as well as contributing to reduce their carbon emissions. Our service relies on a secure and neutral platform allowing users to collaborate while improving their daily working tasks. Following are just a few examples of how Mv-Fleet™ helps our customers to increase their asset utilization saving time, money and improving human resource performance.

CSAV sees a promising future.

Mv-Fleet is turning into a powerful tool for shipping companies once it is reaching a bigger pool of clients and markets.

The concept of Mv-Fleet is not much different from other companies; they all help shipping companies find faster and cheaper repositioning solutions. The extra benefit our company could get from Mv-Fleet is its potential of working on a “do it yourself” way through an interactive internet web site. This would allow us to save more time because not much emailing would be required.

So far, our working experience has been very good, specially with Mv-Fleet’s team who has been always behind every chance, offering help, answering questions and most important, listening to client’s feedback to improve their system.

There are details on information that requires some work and adjustments of specifications (which we think is part of the feedback work with customers).

Only one thing is missing to make this system a very reliable solution for shipping industry: get more shipping companies involved and motivated in order to be able to offer a bigger amount of solutions, all over the World. We, as a company, are looking to increase the rotation of containers; therefore we need a bigger amount of opportunities.

Mv-Fleet is the only information system based on internet platform for containers and space maximization we know about. This will make our work much faster and simpler once customers and this company reach a standard working format. It would make repositioning activities more efficient and faster than working with other companies, saving money and time.

Seaboard's Operation Offices now have information accessible to everyone.

Our experience implementing MV-Fleet has been of great organizational advantage and simplification in our logistical procedures of equipment steering. Since Seaboard Marine started with the process of implementation throughout the various ports in our structure, there was a clear sense of positivism by all the users. The system is an extremely simple “user friendly” tool which makes it excellent as only requires minimum training time. This simplicity allowed our company to integrate several offices faster than expected. The organization achieved is an improvement to Seaboard Marine’s overall communication throughout our offices in the United States and abroad. As a direct result of this improvement, offices are now spending less time sending e-mails related to equipment requests, and calling other offices to investigate the requirements was reduced dramatically. It is all in the MV-Fleet program accessible to everyone in our logistic department only a click away.

Some of the most important benefits that impacted our company are the equipment request centralization, the proper equipment steering, better logistical planning and the cut of unnecessary costs among others. All of our offices can now clearly realize through the MV-Fleet page the “equipment request” weekly objectives. This improves the equipment repositioning plans which generally reduce our costs due to proper analysis on steering equipment from locations incurring in lesser operational costs, and not mentioning the alternatives that the MV-Fleet program offers when partners have surplus of containers “matches” at Seaboard Marine’s demand areas. The specific modality of Mv-Fleet has great potential in becoming one of the most important features within the program as it not only reduces the costs, but also assist us in subleasing “one way basis” equipment when suffering a container shortage, at the same time you can offer your own equipment to partners if the space on the vessels is limited.

In general, this program has the ability to adjust to the necessity of every company’s dynamic. It does not only have the potential of enhancing the organizational side within the department, but also has the clear advantage of improving the communication among the shipping lines. This partnership will assist one another in solving certain “surprises” we all encounter in this industry, in a simpler and faster manner.

Another point extremely important to mention is the support we are receiving from the MV-Fleet representatives in every area. It is a gratifying experience to have someone that serves as a legitimate assistance to our company’s necessities. We would like to thank you for the accessibility and suggestions to implement new and innovative ideas.
