Lagos — DIABOS Global Fze, leading port cost management solution, and Veson Nautical, the global market leader of maritime freight management solutions, Wednesday announce an evolved product partnership that can help streamline stakeholder management and port cost management for ship owners and operators.
The companies said, in a statement issued from Boston, United States, and Dubai, UAE, that mutual users can now seamlessly access personalised port disbursement data and send port DA requests from the Veson IMOS Platform to DIABOS’ 2.5 and 3.0 platforms. Additionally, they can nominate agents directly from the IMOS Platform, streamlining the entire process.
Agent activity, document handling, and port disbursement management are fundamental to successful and profitable voyage operations. However, traditional paper-based disbursement accounting involves complex communications chains and requires a heavy amount of administrative work, leaving considerable room for error. Creating a smooth experience at port starts with streamlined access to vital port and disbursement information, which is where integrated technologies can help.
The collaboration between DIABOS and IMOS Platform aims to enhance efficiency, reduce expenses and create seamless port operations for their respective client communities. Through their integrated software and service approach, users are empowered with deep, data-driven connectivity to reduce manual processes, unlock powerful insights, minimize fluctuations on voyage P&L, and achieve true continuity across their entire organization.
Meera Kumar, President & CEO at DIABOS, said: “Our mission is to redefine the landscape of stakeholder management and port cost management for ship owners and operators. The partnership between DIABOS and Veson represents a significant step forward in revolutionizing port operations. By leveraging integrated technologies, ship owners and operators can expect a smoother experience at port, reduced administrative work, and improved accuracy in disbursement accounting.”
Graham Piasecki, Director of Commercial Strategy at Veson Nautical, said: “By formalising our existing interface collaboration with DIABOS into a strategic Platform Partnership, we can empower our respective client communities with easier pathways for data to move between platforms. This reduces manual processes, unlocks powerful insights and brings us a step closer to a uniform and consistent global maritime dataset to propel our industry forward.”
