The new center at APL’s corporate headquarters in Singapore has been designed to serve CMA CGM Group’s fleet in the Asian region by examining nautical, meteorological and geographic information in real-time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
CMA CGM Group opened a navigation and port operations center at APL’s corporate headquarters in Singapore last Wednesday.
Designed to be the group’s third navigation command center to its combined fleet of more than 500 container vessels, the center tracks and examines nautical, meteorological and geographic information in real-time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The center in Singapore is dedicated to serving Asia, while the already existing centers in Marseille, France and Miami serve the European and Americas time zones, respectively.
“Based on live analytics of the vessels’ operating speeds, ocean currents, weather forecasts and high traffic areas, each center’s team of experts are empowered to assess, anticipate and mitigate any navigation-related risks to the Group’s vessel operations,” CMA CGM said. “Accurate guidance and alerts are provided to its deck officers on how vessel routes, speeds and fuel consumption can be optimized across its fleet, while ensuring the safety of its crews and vessels globally.”
