\u201cWe are proud to partner with Asyad Shipping. This agreement shows how our platform can support customers in increasingly volatile maritime fuel markets.

Modernising procurement workflows<\/p>\n

The partnership will support a more structured approach to price discovery and day-to-day decision-making, while also enhancing governance and auditability.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have signed the agreement with AuctionConnect as the solution complements our existing supplier relationships and introduces the level of structure and transparency required in today\u2019s market,\u201d says Franck Kayser, COO of Asyad Shipping.<\/p>\n
Under the agreement, Asyad Shipping will utilise AuctionConnect\u2019s auction-based platform to conduct real-time negotiations among vetted suppliers for all its bunker transactions.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur purpose is not to replace established supplier relationships, but to support them with a more structured negotiation process. That combination of market relationships and clearer decision-making is becoming increasingly important,\u201d says Kenneth Juhls.<\/p>\n
