Vessel Scheduling for Profitable, Agile, and Cost-Effective Operations

Quintiq Vessel Scheduling provides real-time decision support and optimization enabling chartering, operations and finance departments to consistently make optimal and aligned planning decisions in seconds with the aim of achieving significant cost savings while maximizing overall profit.

Working with KPI’s both during planning and execution allows planners to create and compare different what-if scenarios and see the consequences on their planned bookings, resources, service levels, and profits. Quintiq supports the highly interactive scheduling process between different actors in different locations, where constant revisions, updates, and interactions are necessary between all actors.

With Quintiq Vessel Scheduling, you can define an optimal network considering customer contracts and volumes, imbalance in trade lanes, competitive trade lanes, port agents, market opportunities, vessel capacities, maintenance contracts, port infrastructure, laycans, etc. You can optimize voyage planning respecting idle time, ballast runs, bunker costs, real-time budget monitoring, recalculation, and updating. With Quintiq you are equipped with the intelligence to decide between possible strategic options, such as hub and spoke versus point-to-point distribution, to define the most profitable cargo mix per vessel type, and to plan your crew.
