Virgin Voyages will utilise Brenock’s planning and port cost management tool, ‘Integrated Management System’ (IMS) across its fleet of four ships.
Virgin Voyages, the first cruise line to implement Brenock’s IMS solution, will go live with Brenock’s planning tool in the second half of 2023.
Brenock’s system will increase the efficiency of planning logistics and managing costs across Virgin Voyages’ fleet, streamlining staffing, resources and invoices for each voyage, the companies said. The one-platform tool also offers fuel and berth reservation management and marine port call tracking. All capabilities are automated, allowing real-time reporting across every stage of the voyage.
The cruise line went live with Brenock IMS in January 2023. According to the company, IMS is the only single-platform solution that offers comprehensive cruise and marine software and manages fees and expenses across all operational categories, including itinerary and contract changes, luggage and transfers, tugs and waste, and billing and forecasting from start to finish.
