DHL Industrial Projects has signed up for Esgian’s ro-ro and multipurpose benchmarking suites.
“In an increasingly dynamic and complex world, DHL seeks to offer our clients unparalleled service in moving complex project cargos around the world. As each client’s need is different, we need to make sure to have the necessary tools at our disposal to meet same. This is where the Esgian Shipping suites for ro-ro and multipurpose become very valuable,” said Torben Waalkes, vice president and global head of marine chartering at DHL Industrial Projects.
“These innovative tools give us unbiased insight into service level and identification of tonnage globally across both segments. Moreover, as visibility of supply chain emissions continue to increase in importance, we can benchmark vessels and operators independently by using the Esgian tools. In essence – it is all about having the right information at the right time so our clients can get the best possible transportation solution globally.”
Esgian has been providing performance and emissions benchmarks for the ro-ro shipping, together with its strategic partner Hesnes Shipping, for nearly two years. That system is underpinned by high-density AIS tracking, each vessel being mapped dynamically to a shipping line taking into consideration which entity has commercial control of the vessel. Esgian partnered with shipbroker and market analyst Toepfer Transport to develop a tool geared specifically for the multipurpose shipping sector in June 2023.
