CSX Lines Picks Ulysses

CSX Lines announced today its decision to deploy the Task Assistant™ Quality and Safety package from Ulysses Systems on all 17 vessels and in land-based offices. A detailed review of all major Safety Management Systems (SMS) available to the maritime industry found that Task Assistant was not only the most effective, but could also provide the most significant cost and time savings. "We chose Task Assistant primarily because of its potential to reduce confusion and help focus our crews on the critical, task-specific instructions contained in our Safety Management System," explains Michael Bohlman, Director Marine Services, CSX Lines. CSX Lines currently publish their SMS in pdf format.
