Wilhelmsen Ships Service Moves Towards Ships Spares Success
Wilhelmsen Ships Service is preparing to move to Phase 2 of its recently launched Ships Spares Logistics (SSL) – “First Mile to Last Mile” offer, a service which provides a single point of contact for managing the delivery of spare parts from manufacturer to vessel, with total visibility on data and associated prices. Vidar Hole, Business Director Maritime Logistics Services at Wilhelmsen Ships Service comments: “Over 60 customers and more than 200 vessels have now started to use this offer. We are pleased to see that the number of customers signing up has increased significantly in the past months. The next phase will include upgrades in the SSL application to allow for increased efficiencies in quoting and invoicing processes, which will give the customer quicker response times.
