Marine Management Systems (MMS), a global marine software provider, announced that Southern Shipmanagement Ltd. (SSM) of Valparaiso, Chile has purchased MMS Fleet Manager Enterprise for Windows systems for its fleet of 17 vessels, plus 20 MMS FleetLINK communica- tions systems for its parent com- pany CSAV. The value of the ini- tial contract, which includes soft- ware, hardware and services, is approximately $300,000. Fleet Manager Enterprise for Windows is an integrated soft- ware solution that manages inventory, ordering, planned maintenance, communications and e-mail, vessel reporting, per- sonnel and payroll, forms, ISM and classification requirements, and fleet-wide reporting. Southern Shipmanagement also acquired SNAPS (ShipNet Advanced Purchasing System) from MMS. Built by ShipNet AS, a MMS strategic alliance partner, SNAPS is a complete purchasing package that is seamlessly inte- grated with the MMS inventory and requisitions system. "The decision to choose MMS was primarily based on the fact that MMS is an international cor- poration involved in the business for many years," said Hector Arancibia Sanchez, CEO, Southern Shipmanagment. "SSM believes that first class ship man- agers should ensure that all their vessels and shore systems are closely linked by using modern communication and data process- ing technologies. To accomplish this, SSM has chosen MMS to achieve both swifter and more rational data flows." Circle 19 on Reader Service Card
