SOFTWARE & REMOTE MONITORING SOLUTIONS

Software Solutions & Remote Monitoring Solutions

Amidst a challenging global ? nancial climate for operators in most sectors, and further accentuated by the increasingly onerous regulatory hammer being applied by the IMO, U.S. Coast Guard and individual ? ag states, vessel operators and maritime stakeholders everywhere are looking for ways to optimize and streamline their operations. The end-goal is more ef? cient, leaner and more pro? table shipping, port and maritime operations. The vehicle to get there certainly includes technology and software.

Historically slow to answer the technology bell, the maritime industry is ? nally fully on board with high-tech future of the global waterfront. Call it whatever you want: big data, remote monitoring, enterprise suites, and a host of other acronyms. In this edition, Maritime Professional looks at the very best of the software suites being used in the maritime industry today. And, we ask, which one is right for you?
