Thomas Gunn updates data delivery service
(Jan  29  2010)

Thomas Gunn Navigation Services has released Version 2 of its Voyager system, incorporating a new file compression module which allows file size reduction by a further 60 per cent.

This makes the service, which delivers weekly Notice to Mariners and tracings correction data direct to vessels, "the most technically advanced e-mail service available in the market today," according to Thomas Gunn, managing director of the company.

"I have no doubt that this major breakthrough in file compression techniques will lead to many more subscribers to the service," he said.

"This has been further confirmed by the decision of a very large shipmanagement company to adapt Voyager throughout its fleet. This is a major endorsement of our commitment to investing in the latest technologies to ensure our customers get the best possible service."

The Voyager service was launched in June 2008 and has over 800 vessels now subscribing, with data delivery by e-mail or web access.
