Do you have the following problems?
- Because you have many vessels, you delegate onboard control of charts and publications to each individual vessel.
- Because your company manages a variety of ship navigation routes, you can’t collectively control chart editions.
- Because most ship navigation routes under the management of your company are the same, you would like to have someone else manage revised chart editions etc. all together.
- Because your company manages various types of ships, it’s difficult to figure out the variety of publications you have.
- You would like to subcontract delivery of revised versions of charts and publications in a timely manner whenever you get the purchase orders from vessels.
- You would like to subcontract management of measures for Port State Control (PSC) and inspections by major international oil companies regarding onboard charts and publications, or to reduce the management burden on your vessels.
- You would like to statistically comprehend the cost of charts and publications purchased annually for ships under your management, but it is hard to examine your records. If even one of the cases listed above applies to you, we highly recommend you introduce our total management system.
