P&O Nedlloyd is to establish an integrated operating system throughout the company in the next 15 months.
Haddo Meijer, chairman of the executive committee and member of the board, disclosed this during a visit to Hong Kong last week while travelling to a ship-naming ceremony in South Korea on Saturday.
'The system will include the operational processes and documentation, and the data will be captured and used within the organisation,' he said.
During the P&O and Nedlloyd merger, an integrated system of revenue and booking had already been put into place, he added.
Besides providing ocean transport, the company increasingly is becoming a provider of logistics and supply-chain management.
'Good progress is being made with our new cost savings programme,' Mr Meijer said.
