NORDEN embeds Sea/contracts across Panamax, Supramax and Handy size dry cargo operations
NORDEN, one of the world’s leading operators of dry cargo vessels, has implemented Sea/contracts, the cloud-based document creation and management module designed for the shipping industry, the company said in its release. It has embedded the document management module across its Panamax, Supramax and Handysize dry cargo operations, covering 11 offices and a fleet of 275 vessels.
As one of the world’s largest operators globally of dry cargo vessels, NORDEN requires a significant number of charter parties – contracts between a charterer and a vessel owner– produced against its fixtures.
Sea/contracts, an agile document management tool for the production and management of recaps, charter parties and other shipping documents, is used by over 1,000 users across charterers, owners, and brokers. As well as meeting NORDEN’s specific requirements, the module provides a full audit trail of changes, stronger collaboration across key stakeholders and streamlined workflow with the use of electronic signatures.
Sea/contracts is currently one of eight interoperable modules on the Sea/ platform that can be used either together or separately. The full Sea/ platform is designed to improve the day-to-day working of shipping professionals, byenabling better informed trading strategies, ensuring stronger collaboration between market participants and providing operational tools for success from within a single platform.
