OCEAN Network Express (ONE) has smashed the previous world record for the greatest amount of containers ever transported by a single containership, after carrying 19,100 TEU on board the 20,146 TEU MOL Tribute, thanks to the use of Navis' StowMan vessel planning software to optimise storage of the load.
The record was first set by Maersk Line with a 19,038 TEU-load last August.
Earlier, ONE completed two additional record stows on board the MOL Trust and MOL Tradition in its last two calls at PSA Singapore, The Maritime Executive of Fort Lauderdale, Florida reported.
'As vessel sizes increase, so too do the complexities associated with safe and effective stowage planning,' said ONE general manager Captain Kunihiko Nishimura.
ONE partnered with Navis leveraging its StowMan solution on a vessel also equipped with the MACS3 loading computer for the most recent voyage. ONE was able to optimise the cargo load based on accurate vessel profile information, resulting in higher utilisation and fewer restows.
Navis plans to expand these results to other terminals. Currently, 50 carriers and logistics providers with 3,000 users worldwide stow their vessels with StowMan.
