VesselVanguard, the cloud-based maintenance management service, announced a new partnership with trawler yacht manufacturer, Kadey-Krogen Yachts. Adding value by simplifying and streamlining yacht management, Kadey-Krogen vessels will be fully provisioned with a one-year VesselVanguard subscription, featuring a digital library of equipment manuals, a customized maintenance and inspection calendar for all onboard systems, and powerful functionality to track and oversee service tasks.
