XVELA, a provider of cloud-based networks for the maritime industry, has announced that Hapag-Lloyd will implement its collaboration services to increase transparency and efficiency throughout the supply chain.
The Navis-owned company and Hapag-Lloyd, which occupies a position among the top five ocean carriers in the world, have revealed that they will begin the “global rollout” on one of Hapag-Lloyd’s major Latin American services.
According to a statement, the ‘Phase One’ rollout will see XVELA’s services used to establish communication and foster collaboration between planners and terminal partners of Hapag-Lloyd, making the movement of containerized cargo more visible.
