Optimize Container Stowage to Increase Profits

Navis PowerStow for Shipping Line Operations
When you've poured precious capital into operating a fleet of containerships, the container stowage planner's role is more than just determining the best placement for each shipping container. It's financial and asset management, resource allocation, and strategic container stowage planning all in one. Every delay, inefficiency, and mistake can cost your company money and lower the overall return on your investment.

Consider the difficulties and intricacies of shipping container stowage planning. Multiply the container stowage variables on each vessel by the number of ports in a typical voyage, factor in vessel sharing agreements, complex hazardous segregation rules, and the uncertainties in the shipping container forecast. The result is a model of such complexity that only an expertly designed container stowage planning software system can manage.

That's what challenged Navis to develop PowerStow container stowage planning and management. This shipping container stowage planning and management system operates in real-time, thus enabling planners to optimize container stowage throughout the entire voyage of the vessel, resulting in enhanced container stowage planner productivity, improved vessel utilization, reduced fuel and stevedoring costs, and maximum operational efficiency. Comprehensive container stowage planning tools provide unparalleled real-time visibility of container stowage, cargo forecasts, stability and strength, crane split, and lashing and error conditions.

Used by leading shipping lines, Navis PowerStow is the only container stowage planning and management system that offers true multi-port vessel stowage planning, integrated strength and stability calculations, and an easy-to-use graphic user interface, so you can:

• Maximize asset utilization
• Improve customer service
