The world of short-sea shipping is changing fast, and Keelspot is at the forefront, helping shipowners maximize efficiency, reduce empty legs, and secure more business. Today, we’re thrilled to share the story of NSK Shipping and Kenneth Gjelsvik, who, with two vessels delivering fish feed along Norway’s coastline, have experienced firsthand how Keelspot is transforming their operations and adding serious value.
Starting Strong with Keelspot
NSK Shipping started using Keelspot in April, and the results spoke for themselves. By leveraging our platform, they booked cargo that contributed a 10% revenue boost for general cargo. For a business with tight schedules and high standards, this additional revenue was a game-changer.
Kenneth shares:
"Since we booked our first load via Keelspot, we’ve added roughly 10% to our general cargo revenue, which has been a valuable boost for our vessels."
Keelspot’s real-time cargo visibility allowed NSK Shipping to find loads that aligned perfectly with their routes, making the most of their voyages with minimal extra effort.
Adapting to Route Changes with Keelspot’s Flexibility
Post-summer, NSK Shipping shifted its routes, which led to fewer bookings via Keelspot. Still, Kenneth values Keelspot’s flexibility. With constant access to new cargo options, he knows Keelspot can support his team, even as their routes and schedules evolve.
