Electronic transaction platform for the container industry Inttra has signed on Korea’s Namsung Shipping Co to its rapidly growing carrier network.

Namsung will offer its customers a full suite of services through Inttra’s network, including shipping instructions, booking requests, shipping orders for North China, Track and Trace, eVGM and Ocean Schedules.  The carrier, which is Korea’s first private ocean going shipping line, will also connect its own self-developed internal EDI engine EMAP to Inttra, whose booking platform allows carriers to connect through EDI, API or a web connection based on their preferences and capabilities.

The smaller regional carrier is mainly active in the Intra-Asia trades, with routes linking Korea to Japan, China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand among others.

“We are delighted to welcome Namsung, one of the leading providers of marine transportation services in Asia, to our network,” said Inttra president and coo Inna Kuznetsova.

“As our industry continues to embrace digitalization, a single connection to our platform links the world’s top carriers to more than 30,000 shipping companies and in turn enables regional carriers such as Namsung to provide a higher level of customer support,” she added.

“We are pleased to join the world’s largest neutral network providing increased shipping options for our customers,” said Namsung president Kim Yong Kyu.

“By taking advantage of Inttra’s outstanding platform, our valuable customers will continue to enjoy working with Namsung as we provide enhanced and specialized shipping solutions. We believe that this marvelous opportunity will offer positive synergy for all parties by reducing costs and providing better and more efficient processes,” he added.
