Veson Nautical, a maritime data and freight management solutions provider, has expanded its partnership with Cargill through a strategic technology agreement to accelerate digital transformation in the maritime sector.
This agreement grants Cargill’s Ocean Transportation business access to Veson’s portfolio, comprising advanced data intelligence capabilities and Shipfix, the AI-enabled collaborative workflow solution.
Building on the success of using the Veson IMOS Platform, Cargill’s goal is to streamline its technology ecosystem while enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and innovation in its global shipping operations.
Cargill Ocean Transportation business strategy and digitalisation lead Eric Aboussouan said: “With a shared desire for digital transformation, open collaboration between our teams, and complementary strengths, skills, and focus points, Veson is the perfect partner to expand our relationship with.
“They have set the standard for digital transformation in the shipping industry, with their IMOS Platform being the leading solution in the market.”
The partnership is not only focused on internal improvements but also on providing Cargill’s customers with a better experience through a solution that integrates proprietary data, supplier information, and customer insights.
This collaboration is set to enable faster, data-driven decisions for Cargill and the wider shipping industry, ensuring compliance with new regulations from bodies such as the International Maritime Organization and the FuelEU initiative, according to Veson.
Veson president and chief operating officer Sean Riley said: “As Veson has invested in building a comprehensive set of solutions over recent years, we are thrilled for Cargill to benefit, extending our longstanding partnership.
“The further work we are doing with Cargill highlights one of many ways we are partnering with our clients to propel the maritime industry forward.”
With expertise in maritime-related contracts, Veson supports more than 38,000 users across 2,400 companies in more than 100 countries.
In 2023, Veson Nautical announced plans to acquire vessel valuation provider VesselsValue, a market-standard platform for automated daily valuations.
