And then, of course, there’s ABS. With the help of sev- eral other ABS units, ABS and its independent sister com- pany ABS Group, which provides non-class services, offer a virtual one-stop shop when it comes to safety manage- ment and compliance. ABS Nautical Systems (NS) group is developing a version of its FMS to support Subchapter

M in the form of a slimmed down, simpli? ed dashboard, which will support all subM regulations, streamline data entry and generate compliance reports, using subscription- based pricing.

Not to be outdone, Baker Lyman’s software offering in the subM space is the CORSAIR Towing Vessel Record application, CORSAIR TVR v.2., which is said to be an easy-to-use, scalable TVR that meets or exceeds safety, as- sessment, inspection, training, recordkeeping and other documentation requirements. It provides users of Baker Ly- man’s navigation, scheduling, safety, training, compliance and planned maintenance assessments with pre-formatted vessel, barge, and crew log entries, VGP permit tracking, and enhanced daily logging functions. If it can be tracked –

CORSAIR tracks it – all without a sheet of paper.
