Japan's containership giant Ocean Network Express (ONE) has held its first Global Stowage Planning Office (SPO) Summit to improve planning and safety.
It gathered together 11 representatives from seven countries in Kumamoto in Japan, as well as five representatives from headquarters in Singapore, including managing director Yasuki Iwai.
Attendees discussed how ONE can improve stowage skills by using its "comprehensive global network".
The company said it aims to go beyond its current best-practice standard.
"It was a great opportunity for attendees to learn about issues and measures that other regions face. They will thereafter transfer those skills to their own countries and apply them in their daily work," it added.
