This latest release is another fine example of BASS’ customer-centric approach in offering problem-solving solutions, with highlights being the new data privacy features and enhanced fleet management,” said Per Steinar Upsaker, CEO and managing director of BASS.

These improvements include a new feature providing fleet-wide central management of equipment data, with the ‘Equipment Setup’ facility enabling the user to create and manage a library of machinery organised by manufacturer and model.

This module can also be used to provide shared access to standard instructions, materials and documents across the fleet, while shore-based users can gain an overview of how a particular type of equipment is used fleet-wide via the software.

On the data privacy side, password security has been strengthened through use of a one-way hash algorithm, and administrators have been given the ability to use access rights to restrict access to personal data to authorised users only (in BASSnet and in the BASSnet HR Manager).

Records are kept of crew consent obtained for collection and display of personal data, and a User Masking Tool offers the ability to anonymise selected inactive users in various modules by permanently masking their personal information from view. Inactive crew can also be permanently anonymised using this new tool.

Further updates have additionally been made to modules covering safety, risk management and compliance, in line with the latest developments in these areas.{/mprestriction}
