AXSTanker Version 3 Released
AXSMarine launched Version 3.0 of AXSTanker, its internet-based software. Not only will it have an upgraded interface and include a more user-friendly look, but improvements to the functionality of the system will also serve to enhance database interrogation and data retrieval. Brokers looking to search the database can do so now based on vessel draft and beam restrictions as opposed to just using Panamax or Suezmax vessel size search strings. There is a new attach file capability on the system as well as an AIS data, sourced from Vesseltracker, map and history access capability. Equally as important, Q88 files can now be uploaded via the AXS Support system (email to [email protected]) and can be exported in PDF, text or Word formats.
