SENATOR LINES, the German container-shipping line, has finished the large-scale re-launch project for its internet site, which now has a dual design. By visiting the domain www.senatorlines.com, there is an immediate choice between two divisions - both completely different in functionality and design - called "Visit us" and "Work with us."

Online visitors will find information on the company and its staff in the "Visit us" section, while registered and potential customers can access to the basically expanded e-business functions on the "Work with us" pages.

CEO Hans-Hermann Mohr says: "We have been well aware that our homepage, as featured on the world wide web since 2002, has failed to reflect our corporate quality standards for some time. But since we wanted to do more than just offer an improved "look" with minimal functional extensions", continues Mohr, "an internal group of experts from various sections - IT, Documentation, e-commerce, PR and Quality Management - worked in collaboration with international IT and graphics specialists, to produce a completely new solution."

The centrepiece of the new dual SENATOR LINES homepage is the e-business section on the "Work with us" pages. Here the shipping line offers the following modules, all with clear navigation and accompanying support texts:

Sailing Schedule - Rates + Surcharges - Booking - Bill of Lading - Cargo Tracking - Inbound Cargo - Finance and e-commerce Tools

Along with the service modules on the "Work with Us" pages, SENATOR LINES provides access to the two neutral shipping portals GT NEXUS and INTTRA, and further offers those of its customers which post constant volumes a facility for a direct interface with the company's own New Information System (NIS).
