{mprestriction ids="1,2"}The new Hub is installed with systems to allow for remote tracking of individual ships in the fleet, supporting passage planning, security risk assessment, weather routing, video conferencing, integrated vessel management system (NAU) implementation, and individual on-board CCTV remote monitoring.
“The Operations Hub means that we now have an even closer control of our managed fleet, offering our clients up to date information and even greater improvements in our ship management services,” said Claes Eek Thorstensen, president and CCO of the Thome Group.
“The monitoring capabilities provided by the Hub will enable us to direct our managed fleet more efficiently, saving time and improving our operational efficiency.”
“Furthermore, in times of emergency we can react much more quickly and get faster and more accurate information about the situation in real time, allowing our crisis teams to make informed decisions on how to resolve any issues.”
The office features height-adjustable ergonomic tables and chairs, independent air-conditioning, anti-glare screens and dimmable lighting to provide a comfortable environment for the team, who may have to spend long periods of time monitoring specific operational aspects of the fleet.
If required, a room adjoining the Hub can be used to set up a team to handle a crisis. Dividing walls can be deployed should a separate office be required and the crisis team can monitor live action from the Hub using CCTV cameras installed in the facility.{/mprestriction}
