Boatracs, Pinpoint Team On "Fleet View"

Boatracs and PinPoint Systems

International recently unveiled "Fleet View," a new graphic display of the Boatracs Communications and Vessel Tracking System (VTS).

Fleet View was developed by

PinPoint specifically for Boatracs, and is an electronic charting sys- tem that creates a real time dis- play of a fleet's position on an elec- tronic nautical chart.

Fleet View allows the display of the location and track of every ves- sel in a fleet, as well as access to all pertinent information about a single vessel with a simple click of the mouse button on its corre- sponding icon. A real time log of the vessel's voyage, including the latitude and longitude of each position update, is displayed in a separate window.

Fleet View also enables the user to place discretionary and event marks on the electronic nautical chart by using a tool box similar to those used with an electronic charting system.

Bill Silhan, PinPoint's executive vice president, said, "Our goal is to provide vessel operators and fleet managers with the most accu- rate and useful information possi- ble to further promote cost-effi- cient operations and safety at sea." "It's particularly satisfying to watch the efficiency and safety of vessel management increase with the progression of high technolo- gy," said Michael L. Silverman, chairman and CEO of Boatracs.

The PICK UPC AT concept

The PICKUPCAT concept is based on dividing a vessel in two separate parts: a self contained catamaran containing power, propulsion and steering functions, and an interchangeable cargo carrying unit.

The assembled units retain the same strength and structural properties as that of a traditional hull construction. The time spent in port to engage/disengage tjie two separate units take less than 2 hours. The cargo unit may serve as a floating storage facility, independently of the propulsion unit which is free to operate elsewhere.

While at sea, the two units operate as one ship.
