Waterfront Container Leasing purchases
Rental4000 to manage its container fleet
Real Asset Management (RAM) is delighted to announce that San Franciscoheadquartered Waterfront Container Leasing Co., Inc., a leading marine
transportation leasing services company, has purchased the Rental4000 solution to
manage its fleet. Founded in June 1983, Waterfront buys, sells, owns, manages and
leases marine dry cargo containers, refrigerated containers, open tops, flatracks and
chassis to ocean carriers worldwide. In addition to the USA, it has representation in
Europe, South America, Australia, Taiwan, Vietnam, The Philippines, South Korea,
Hong Kong and China.
“I am very pleased to commence the partnership with Waterfront,“ said Keith Dolby,
RAM’s managing director. “It is an excellent name to add to our customer portfolio
and with over 45 years of experience in the leasing industry between us, I am
confident that the new system will have a very positive and significant impact on
Waterfront’s business processes.”
Alan Wong, Waterfront’s vice president of operations, explained why RAM was
chosen as its preferred solution. “Enquiries amongst known industry users revealed
a high level of satisfaction with the Series4000 software. Subsequent discussions
with the RAM management team confirmed the similarities between Rental4000’s
functionality and Waterfront’s requirements. The fact that it has been specifically
designed for the container industry,” continued Wong, “made it superior to any other
offerings we looked at, all of which would have required a significant amount of
customisation.”
