INTTRA adds ocean carriers to its digitized platform

Executives for the neutral electronic transaction platform, INTTRA , announced that the software and information provider has expanded its ocean carrier network recently.

Contributing to what the company calls “significant growth,” was the adding of four new carriers, including Evergreen Marine Corporation – one of the largest global container players.

More than 60 carriers – including all of the top 10 as compiled by Logistics Management and the consultancy Alphaliner – are in league with INTTRA now.

“The continuing growth of INTTRA's carrier network signals the rapid adoption of digitalization across the industry,” said spokesmen. “

Albert Saphir, president of Weston, Fla.-based ABS Consulting told LM in an interview that shippers and forwarders are becoming increasingly reliant on this kind of seamless interface.

“GTNexus has also done a good job with carrier integration, but INTTRA remains well focused with ocean carriers.”

INTTRA added the following new carriers:

*Evergreen Marine, which is expanding its current fleet.
*Namsung Shipping, which provides shipping services throughout Asia, targeting Korea to Japan, China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand and Intra-Asia routes.
*Unifeeder, the largest and best connected feeder and shortsea platform in Europe.
*Antillean Marine Shipping, servicing Miami to Port-Au-Prince, Cap-Haïtien, Puerto Plata, and Rio Haina, as well as Intra-Island routes between the Dominican Republic and Haiti, intends to offer services over INTTRA's network by summer.

The carriers will be available on INTTRA upon completion of integration.
