MED Installs Its 1 OOth

VIPER System

MED Associates, Inc. has performed the 100th installation of a VIPER system, this system for Tidewater vessel MTV Boss in the

Gulf of Mexico. VIPER, a computer-based, satellite-linked vessel information and man- agement system, was developed exclusively for and with Tidewater Marine Inc. of New

Orleans. This combination of technology has been in continuous, evolutionary development since its launch on the first vessel in 1994.

At the heart of the system is OmniTRACS, a satellite-based communications and vessel tracking system developed and manufactured by QUALCOMM Inc. and distributed by San

Diego-based BOATRACS. Utilizing the bene- fits of OmniTRACS, MED engineered and designed a unique, PC-based system which specifically addressed Tidewater's criteria of improved communications, better fleet management, reduced costs and reliability. The software report- edly meets all onboard informa- tion needs, including forms such as the master's log which are now generated with the comput- er. In addition, all of the data onboard is sent ashore several times per day. H "It's like a living thing," said

Chuck Drobny, of MED. "VIPER has the flexibility to change as

Tidewater learns more about its possibilities.

Probably 90 percent of what VIPER can do was inspired by onboard personnel, and we are always listening for ways to improve it."

By pushing a button, the captain can trans- mit data such as activity information, crew lists, parts requisitions, master's logs, acci- dent reports or fuel inventories via satellite.

That data is used onshore by Tidewater, and is also sent to several of its customers' loca- tions where it is used to simplify management and control procedures (see diagram).

MED develops and engineers customized information systems and provides comprehen- sive installation, training, certification, trou- ble shooting and support services. MED's cus- tomers operate supply boats offshore and river towboats on inland waterways.
