Transas Marine has introduced a new version of its fleet SSAS and tracking service, with the launch of FleetViewOnline 3.11.
The new version offers three alternatives for electronic chart
presentation; Transas Marine’s TX-97 charts with worldwide coverage,
OpenSteetMaps land charts and any charts provided by Web Map Service.
Web Map Service allows for the loading and display of georeferenced
images generated by a map server using data from a GIS database, such
as, for example, charts from third-party providers, weather forecasts,
satellite images, and images of industrial zones.
In FVO 3.11, SSAS and tracking functionality for Area A4 (Polar Regions
above 70 degrees North or South latitude) is also available, for vessels
equipped with SAILOR H4122 Iridium SSAS.
An Android client for FVO has been released and can be downloaded from
the FleetView website, including functionalities such as graphical fleet
location presentation, vessel tracks, the ability to send commands to a
terminal, user zones presentation and editing of alarms, weather
presentation, and various reports (fleet report, track report, SSAS
log).
In addition, a mobile version of the FleetViewOnline website is
available for other smartphones and tablet computers, using any
operating system.
In other news, Transas also reports that the new French National SAR
Training Center, to which it has supplied the simulators, is now open
for training in St-Nazaire harbour in the West of France.
Volunteers will be trained there using both simulation and real navigation equipment.

original ship drawings and is an exact 1:1 replica of one of SNSM’s
