Shipnext, a leading digital shipping platform, today announced its participation in BIMCO’s newly launched Technology Partnership Program. Concurrently, Shipnext has secured a new licensing agreement enabling the company to offer BIMCO charter parties to its users. This collaboration will enhance digital capabilities for Shipnext users while expanding the reach of BIMCO’s SmartCon solution within the transportation industry.
BIMCO, the world’s largest international shipping association, views the Technology Partnership Program as a crucial step in advancing digitalization within the maritime sector.
Shipnext has been actively expanding its network and capabilities. Last year, the company forged a strategic partnership with the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS), providing its members and alumni with access to comprehensive data on international ocean and river fleets, ports, communication services, and Shipnext’s proprietary AI-based freight-matching service.
By joining BIMCO’s Technology Partnership Program, Shipnext reaffirms its commitment to driving innovation and digital transformation within the transportation industry. This collaboration underscores the increasing importance of technology in streamlining global transportation processes.
