BigOceanData has delivered a bespoke package to YA-SA Ship Management & Trading S.A., based in Istanbul, Turkey. Following a successful initial trial on five vessels, BigOceanData (BOD) has been awarded a fleet monitoring services contract for an initial year. The service provided to the YA-SA fleet of 26 bulk and tanker vessels fuses data from terrestrial and satellite AIS together with Inmarsat-C position reporting.

The browser-based BOD system allows fleet managers to monitor vessel locations and store this information for later analysis. It also issues automatic alerts if a vessel strays outside an approved route that has been previously input into the system. This provides managers with remote intelligence of vessel activity and delivers confidence that their fleet is operating as required in strict adherence to all company conditions.
