Insight into a fleet of 100+ vessels

World's largest breakbulk shipper gains complete fleet visibility across 114 vessels

From days to hours

  • Context: World's largest breakbulk shipping company with 114 vessels transporting specialized cargo like windmill blades and yachts.
  • Challenge: Despite having extensive fleet data, management lacked structured insights into performance across their global operation.
  • Solution: All Your BI transformed their database into comprehensive Power BI dashboards covering fleet performance and profitability.
  • Result: Complete visibility into vessel utilization, route profitability, and automated regulatory reporting replaced manual processes.
  • Impact: Management gained strategic fleet insights, though full potential required improved data discipline from sales teams.

Context

The world's largest breakbulk shipping company operates 114 specialized vessels globally, transporting everything that isn't bulk cargo—from windmill blades to luxury yachts. With over 100 years of maritime expertise, this Dutch company moves unique cargo across both standard weekly routes and custom on-demand journeys for high-value clients.

Challenge

Despite capturing extensive operational data across multiple systems, management couldn't answer fundamental questions about fleet performance. With 15,000+ customers creating data chaos and departments competing weekly for vessel assignments, they needed structured insights into what was actually driving profitability across their specialized fleet operations.

Solution

All Your BI restructured their existing database architecture and built comprehensive Power BI dashboards. We created complete fleet performance reporting that revealed which commodities generated real revenue, how different vessel types performed across route patterns, and which customer relationships delivered sustainable profitability.

Execution

Our team delivered integrated reporting across their entire fleet ecosystem, connecting vessel management systems with operational data. We built automated KYC compliance reporting for banking requirements, variable cost breakdowns, and predictive models for route profitability. The solution revealed crucial insights like high-volume paper transport generating significant business but lower daily margins compared to specialized windmill blade routes.

Client

World's largest breakbulk shipping company with 114 specialized vessels, over 100 years of maritime operations, and global routes serving everything from standard cargo schedules to custom luxury yacht transport across international waters.
