Upon their release, the new features will become a standard part of the Veslink IMOS Platform.
“As 2020 draws ever closer, we understand that compliance with the new regulations is an issue of increasing urgency for nearly every organisation in the market,” commented John Veson, Veson Nautical CEO. “The Veslink IMOS Platform is perfectly suited to address the data visibility and voyage planning components of the regulation, and we are excited to roll out new functionality that will provide such critical value to our user base.”
Veson’s solution was designed with significant input from Veson’s client base and will build upon existing ECA Zone consumption and tracking functionality, which has been a core part of the Veslink IMOS Platform since 2010.
“We are pleased with the straightforward yet comprehensive nature of the solution we are developing,” added Per Ostman, Veson Nautical’s Director of Product. “We started engaging with clients as far back as last year, and have built consensus in the community through surveys, site visits, and round table sessions, including at our ONCOURSE user conference.
“There’s a lot of uncertainty in the market around grade availability, zone restrictions, and pricing – our goal is to offer a standardised approach that provides stability to our clients and allows for future flexibility,” he said.
Veson’s IMO 2020 is to be released by the end of August, 2019.
