The partnership with ZeroNorth will give the Unifeeder fleet full transparency over voyage planning, access to industry-renowned voyage optimisation with integrated weather routing, as well as bunker, vessel, and emissions optimisation recommendations, in order to unlock fuel efficiencies, reduce carbon emissions, and improve earnings.
90 Unifeeder-operated vessels will adopt ZeroNorth’s technology, thereby powering up decision-making and generating an immediate positive impact on their operations.
ZeroNorth’s expansion into the container market
The partnership is the latest milestone in ZeroNorth’s continued expansion into the container market and comes as another example of the company’s aim to make a positive impact across the entire marine value chain.
Speaking on the announcement, Jesper Bo Hansen, the Chief Revenue Office (CRO) at ZeroNorth, said “It is fantastic news that a forward-thinking industry leader, such as Unifeeder has opted to use our full suite of optimisation solutions, across their considerable fleet of container and short-sea vessels.”
