ZeroNorth and Hapag-Lloyd have announced a new strategic partnership aimed at launching a bunker procurement and planning solution.
The partnership between the two companies will set out to create a new digital solution that enables Hapag-Lloyd to effectively navigate the energy transition, reduce their fuel spend, and cut their cost to serve. The solution will offer features such as streamlined contract and port planning, contract tender capabilities, a true price algorithm and more.
We are excited about this impactful partnership with Hapag-Lloyd, which will see us leverage the extensive knowledge and ambition between our two organisations with the aim of transforming the way companies approach bunker planning and procurement during the energy transition.
… said Kenneth Juhls, Managing Director ZeroNorth Bunker
The partnership comes amidst the continued digitalisation of the bunker market, with advances in technology and increasing amounts of data enabling a new era of transparent and accountable bunker procurement decision-making.
We have a clear strategic direction to advance decarbonisation across our fleet and across our business. To do this, we need to find the right partners – and we believe that ZeroNorth is perfectly placed to enable us to digitalise our bunker procurement and planning activity.
