Fleet management solutions are designed to help cut costs associated with maintaining vessels by streamlining workflow, and FleetPlan clains their use can reduce up to 20 % cost by efficient fleet planning.

The goal of HMC’s FleetPlan is to generate an optimised Fleet schedule on a daily basis, which displays a horizon up to several months to be specified by the user for each commodity and ship type. The database of FleetPlan can store a broad range of ships, cargo data and is compatible with data from other systems using our import module. 

FleetPlan explains that the the program has the possibility to keep several types of information on vessels and cargoes. This information can be used to schedule vessels by hand and cargoes can be planned on a vessel using drag-and-drop functionality. A mathematical model is used to generate schedules automatically and daily positions of the vessels can be communicated via the satellite communication module.

Daily positions of vessels improve the schedule which is generated by the user or the system. The database of FleetPlan can easily be adjusted to user’s requirements and can save and reload previous generated schedules so that they are comparable to the earlier voyage plans.
