Webinar How maritime commercial communications are evolving

Maritime commercial communications have traditionally involved a lot of e-mail, multiple communication systems, manual work connecting cargoes with possible vessels, lots of searching for data, and manual calculations. We hear that typically only 5-10 percent of customer inquiries are replied to.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how it is evolving, with Alexander Varvarenko, founder of ShipNext, and Nathaniel (Nat) Hutley, CEO. We’ll look at the evolution in shipping commercial platforms over the past 3 years, and how shipping and shipbroking companies have been moving to them.

Looking in the future, we’ll look at how big data is being controlled, how platforms are competing, and whether blockchain will have any role. Also evolution in financing for freight.

ShipNext has a platform for automated cargo to ship matching, ship position searching. There are tools to reduce e-mail workload, make data easier to find, connect to multiple communication systems, and make freight calculations.
