Maritime Transport Rewards Safer Drivers with Annual Bonuses

By using the Microlise Driver Performance Management solution, Maritime Transport has seen a significant upturn in driver grades and safety levels with almost half of the fleet moving from lower to higher grades.

Maritime Transport, one of the UK’s leading multimodal logistics companies, has been a partner of Microlise since 2012 having opted for a solution that provides insight into driver and vehicle performance and allows them to track the location of assets to increase fleet utilisation.

During 2013 Maritime rolled-out a driver bonus scheme to reward their safest drivers. With over 2,000 drivers covering 130,000,000 miles per annum, last year’s annual bonus pool was worth in excess of £1.4m. The average driver pay-out was £500 with Maritime’s top performers receiving pay outs of over £3,000.

The scheme is based on telematics scores and encourages drivers to maintain higher levels of safety and compliance. A range of key performance indicators such as fuel efficiency, braking, and acceleration are used to monitor drivers, providing an opportunity for ‘top earners’ to receive this bonus pay-out.

Privately owned, Maritime Transport has grown from a container transport haulier into a fully multimodal logistics company, with a network of 33 sites across the UK, including a number of rail terminals following their recent launch of Maritime Intermodal. The company prides itself on its use of cutting-edge technology and practical use of data insights to power its operations across both road and rail.
