performing
setting up work, risking the fleet wide consistency and integrity.
Our
synchronisation module is totally independent of the communication
media, protocol
and software system used to establish communication
between vessel and onshore
locations. This concept offers your company
the flexibility to choose the most cost
effective solution in the market
depending also on the operational pattern of the
vessels.
For example, a tank operating at an area where mobile telephony is available
can use it instead of the expensive satellite communication. For a vessel
sitting in the
port where the office is located, an updating using magnetic
media should be
probably most appropriate. We have the expertise to fine
tune any communication
system to our synchronisation module.
