Telaurus se@COMM Now Broadband Enabled

This Broadband solution will allow captains and crews to access the internet and all the se@COMM features over any IP based satellite terminal while continuing with, simplicity of use, near real-time communications and vessel side live display of traffic and cost while using the internet. Using similar filters as their current se@COMM email accounts, the Telaurus Broadband solution allows Captains and Office Staff to manage all control features on the vessel or via the Telaurus web based Ship Management Tool (SMT) and monitor shipboard usage.

Integrated Workboat Management Systems Debuts

A system touted as the first fully integrated workboat management system — dubbed GlobeOffshore — was recently unveiled by Globe Wireless at the International Workboat Show in New Orleans. GlobeOffshore is designed to act as a decision support tool helping to improve vessel utilization, streamline operational and strategic decisions and maximize vessel efficiency. Onboard, the GlobeOffshore log captures all types of information — cargo, operational, crew & passenger, as well as position. The data is then made available to the boat owner or charterer on the Internet. The system is set-up to allow managers, both operational and strategic, to track fleet and produce timely reports on vessel activities, cargo transfers, engine maintenance, crew schedules and charge allocation.
