The fuel company from Sweden will use the Finnish tech firm's schedule optimisation software to reduce shipping emissions by increasing the vessel utilisation rate.
Preem schedules and executes over one thousand voyages annually, including via time-chartered vessels, contracts of affreightment, and spot contracts.
"Seaber's proven optimisation technology will help develop our logistics and shipping operations. We are looking to get an extremely fast ROI [return on investment] that will have a direct impact in reducing Preem's emissions and costs. Seaber's software will complement and unite our logistics process by digitalising our schedule planning," Daniel Berndolf, Preem's Manager Shipping, Supply & Trading, commented.
Sebastian Sjöberg, CEO and Co-founder of Seaber, added, "Preem's environmental mission is aligned with Seaber's values. It's great to be working with a forward-thinking company like Preem who is constantly on the lookout for emerging technologies. With the Seaber solution Preem will optimise their own shipping operations and also enable a broader network optimisation including terminals and shipowners. The contract with Preem is another proof of the value that Seaber can bring to the shipping industry."
