AVS Global Ship Supply is preparing to launch AVS+, a new digital customer portal, at the upcoming SMM Hamburg 2026 event, scheduled for September 1-4. This platform is designed to offer shipowners and operators improved speed, transparency, and control over their vessel supply and catering operations. The AVS+ system integrates the company's extensive four decades of experience in ship supply and catering services.
For freight forwarders and operations managers, this development signifies a potential streamlining of the vessel provisioning process. Enhanced transparency and control can lead to more predictable port calls and reduced delays related to supplies, indirectly impacting overall shipment schedules and operational efficiency. While not directly affecting freight rates or capacity, improved vessel turnaround times due to efficient supply management can contribute to better schedule reliability for carriers, which benefits forwarders.
