("The Data Advantage" by Paul Stern, marketing man- ager, Comsat; Maritime Reporter & Engineering News, October 1998, pg. 22). Following is the introduction to the story. The information age has arrived for vessels at sea. Vessel masters and operations man- agers need to communicate with each other, their suppliers and their customers in a time- ly and cost efficient manner. There are, of course, many different ways to communicate. Different satellite services offer some combination of fax, voice, data or telex. Of all these offerings, data is the fastest growing choice and the one with the brightest future. At the same time, because it is the newest option for sailors at sea, there is still a lot of mystery about why and how to use a data transmission service. Satellite data communications provides many advantages: planners know exactly when a ship will arrive in port, speeding up transfers of goods by automating customs pro- cedures and reports. With timely and reliable satellite data communications, ships can also send and receive a variety of business reports such as changes in manifests, navigational charts, orders for spare parts and supplies, bay and crew reports...to name just a few.
