Integration for P&O

Nedlloyd

P&O Nedlloyd has implemented the

AMOS Connect e-mail system of Xantic in combination with the SPOS weather system on a selection of vessels. Via a

MAPI protocol within AMOS Connect, the SPOS weather system can automati- cally create e-mail messages or check the AMOS mailbox for new weather forecasts. The weather files containing wind, wave and cyclone forecasts are sent to the vessel on a daily or twice- daily basis via Inmarsat. Such that this is vital information for ship operations, a reliable link is essential and with the implemented connection, so the officers can be sure that the forecast is available whenever they need it.

Making Ships

Stronger, Safer

GHS Load Monitor (GLM) is a soft- ware program used aboard ships to mon- itor stability and/or strength with various loads.

It gives vessel operators the ability to quickly check the safety of present and anticipated loading conditions. GLM computes hull and tank characteristics directly from geometrical models of the ship and its tanks, helping to simplify the initial data preparation and elimi- nates a source of errors.

It also leads to more accuracy over a wider range of trim angles, and makes possible flooding and grounding calcu- lations using the same software. Special versions of GLM can easily be produced to meet special requirements.
