Cybit, the UK’s leading online Telematics Service Provider, has announced that its https://www.bluefinger.com/[BlueFinger] maritime division will launch a new worldwide web-based online vessel tracking service this month. Saffire-Online will for the first time allow shipping companies to combine compliance with IMO Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) regulations with a comprehensive suite of shipping fleet management tools over the web to significantly enhance operational efficiency.
Saffire-Online provides a clear view of every vessel in the fleet and enables full activity and status reports to be easily generated. Fleet managers can quickly acquire location information on each vessel and together with vessel grouping and geo-fencing management facilities, can ensure that all shipments are on-course and on-time. This enables them to identify any exceptional events and then react quickly and effectively. Saffire-Online is fully compatible with Inmarsat-C, D+ (IsatM2M), Iridium, Thuraya and other leading satellite communication systems.
Saffire-Online automatically provides the necessary reporting to the LRIT International Data Centres and to any other destinations that the ship owner may require, which helps make the submission process less labour-intensive and enables increased effectiveness in other areas.
Saffire-Online offers the following advantages:
– Conforms to IMO Long Range Identification and Tracking regulations
– Interfaces with all leading satellite services
– Automatic email reports of mission critical fleet data
– Builds on BlueFinger’s Global Leadership in the Maritime VMS Environment
