Vessel Tracking

Not too long ago, monitoring a fleet of vessels on a computer in real time would have been considered science fiction.

For centuries, the only navigation system was a sextant and some yellowed maps. Only the quality of the maps improved over time. Not too long ago, monitoring a fleet of vessels on a computer in real time would have been considered science fiction. Today it is possible to do this easily and inexpensively. By attaching a simple GPS transmitter to each vessel, fleet managers are in constant communication with their fleets through the world's most advanced telecommunications satellite network. This satellite network connects with a server that can be accessed from any computer online with the Internet.

It is not necessary to sit at the computer for hours and keep track of every movement in real time. The manager can set parameters to program the tracking system to alert him every time a vessel goes outside a prescribed path, is behind schedule, or reaches its destination. He can have the data saved at intervals to record the history of each vessel’s passage. Letting the computer do the work gives the manager more time to focus on the rest of the business.

The more information a manager has about his vessels' positions, the better customer service he can provide. He’ll never have to tell a customer that he doesn’t know where a vessel is located, and he can predict the arrival of a vessel with great accuracy.
