U.S.- ag marine operators to ramp up its IT pro le. Louisiana-based Advanced Logistics LLC, a provider of offshore marine and logistics management software, caters largely to the oil & gas sectors.With a business strategy of building state-of-the-art software to allow marine operators to manage their  eets remotely on a near real time basis, Advanced Logistics ar- guably represents the ideal match for the forward-thinking Harvey Gulf International organization. With the credo of ?making every vessel an of ce down the hall,? for corporate  eet operators, Advanced Logistics also touts ability to allow its marine customers to likewise be ?an of ce down the hall? for their customers. And, for SATCOM-savvy Harvey Gulf, the software that allows a vessel to generate numerous operational reports on board and transmit the data to shore in a real time environment, is just the ticket for one of the most modern offshore  eets on the planet.Advanced Logistics 101According to privately held Advanced Logistics, the newly installed technology includes electronic logs, safety and crew management, commodity tracking, fuel and lube management, GPS mapping, preventative maintenance and much more coupled with an interactive web based in- terface for easy access to data. For Harvey Gulf?s executive vice president and chief administrative of cer Barry Autin, it?s full steam ahead with the new effort. ?We realize the importance of technology in our business and value the ef ciencies it provides to our operations and clients,? he said in November. Because Advance Logistics also caters to ?offshore oil & gas exploration and production? ? Harvey Gulf?s primary client base ? the business decision will probably have im- mediate and positive impact for the offshore giant. Jeffery Svendson, President and CEO of Advanced Logistics LLC says the reasons why are obvious. ?Advanced Logistics has an application called ?Premier? that an offshore operator can subscribe to that allows them to assign charge codes to the vessels activities for allocation purposes. It also pro- vides fuel, commodity and subsistence information, as well as GPS mapping. The application helps bridge the gap between the accounting and logistics departments of an offshore operator.?
