The Challenge
In 2012, Maritime Transport, the UK’s largest container transport operator, was looking for ways to increase efficiencies across the operation. The company was looking to find a telematics technology partner, capable of supporting a wider initiative to innovate with technology and data.
The Approach
In 2012, Maritime Transport, the UK’s largest container transport operator, was looking for ways to increase efficiencies across the operation. The company was looking to find a telematics technology partner, capable of supporting a wider initiative to innovate with technology and data.
After exploring options in the market, Maritime partnered with Microlise, with telematics introduced across the fleet of 700 vehicles. The solution put in place provided insight into driver and vehicle performance, and allowed Maritime to track the location of assets, understanding how they were being utilised, allowing for increases in fleet utilisation.Initially, Maritime focused at addressing areas where efficiencies could more readily be achieved, before later looking at more innovative ways to make use of the data collected and intelligence gained, and expanding the solution to 1,000 vehicles as the fleet grew.
