Avantida作为一家能够使海上集装箱在内陆高效运转的公司，如今已将业务扩展至墨西哥。

这家总部位于比利时安特卫普（Antwerp）的公司成立于2013年，并于2017年被INTTRA收购。这家公司目前正帮助欧洲十几个国家的承运人或运输公司每天处理安排约1600个集装箱。

Avantida 表示，CMA CGM和Hapag-Lloyd两家公司已同意在墨西哥利用其称为“reUse”的集装箱再利用管理服务。但Avantida的首席执行官Luc De Clerck表示，公司同时也在招募其他班轮公司。“大多数主流航运公司都在我们欧洲平台上。”他说。

该公司解释其服务的工作原理如下：“一般情况下，进口集装箱卸货后，必须将其运回港口或指定仓库。通过‘reUse’再利用的办法，运输公司可以要求班轮航运公司继续使用同一集装箱，并将其直接交给出口客户装船。”

De Clerck表示，承运人进口的集装箱被重复使用，即该集装箱会被送至同一承运人或航运公司的客户手上。比如通过这种方式，CMA CGM拥有或租赁的集装箱则仍然在CMA CGM的集装箱船队里。

每次重复使用或者内陆运转都需要经过承运人的允许，之后通过Avantida电脑系统才能自动运行该操作。De Clerck表示，公司的经验是85%的集装箱内陆运转需经过公司的欧洲客户同意。如果集装箱租期将至，客户则会拒绝该集装箱的重复使用。

公司表示该项服务帮助卡车司机节省了在仓库和码头的等候时间，减少了不必要的中转路程。同时还能降低成本减少二氧化碳的排放。

Avantida takes container management service to Mexico

Avantida, a company that enables street turns of ocean containers, has expanded into Mexico.

The Antwerp, Belgium-based company, founded in 2013 and acquired by INTTRA in 2017, currently helps arrange the triangulation of about 1,600 containers each day between shippers or transportation companies in a dozen European countries.

Avantida said CMA CGM and Hapag-Lloyd have agreed to utilize what it calls its reUse container management services in Mexico, but Luc De Clerck, Avantida’s chief executive officer, said the company is recruiting other liner companies as well. “Most of the major carriers are on our platform in Europe,” he added.

The company explained that the service works like this: “Once an import container has been unloaded, it must be taken back to the port or assigned depot. With reUse, transport companies can request the liner shipping company to use that same container and bring it straight to their export customer to get loaded.”

De Clerck said when an import container of a carrier is reused, it is used brought to a customer of the same ocean carrier. In this way, a container that, for example, CMA CGM owns or leases, remains in the CMA CGM container fleet.

Each reuse or street turn must be approved by the carrier and the Avantida computer system allows this to be done automatically. He said the company’s experience is that 85 percent of the street turns are approved by the company’s customers in Europe. Reuse of a container might be rejected, for example, if a container is nearing the end of a lease.

The company said the service helps truckers avoid waiting times at depots and terminals and eliminates travel over unnecessary distances. This reduces both costs and CO2 emissions.
