AWT and Veson Nautical Announce a New Collaboration

SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Applied Weather Technology, Inc. (AWT), a StormGeo Company and leading provider of fleet optimization services and onboard voyage management software, announced today that it will collaborate with Veson Nautical to simplify Captains' reporting with communications to shore-based managers. Veson Nautical software solutions enable the world's leading shipping organizations to better manage voyage chartering, operations, financials and risk.

This new offering delivers notable time-savings to vessel Captains, enabling them to send a single at-sea report to both the onshore operator and AWT via Veslink, rather than sending multiple duplicate reports comprised of the same data. In one click, operators using both AWT and Veslink can deliver critical data to both the AWT weather routing service and voyage management through Veslink and IMOS. This leads to timely data with increased accuracy, and streamlines the workflow onboard the vessel.

"I can truly say that our collaboration with Veson is based on the demands of many of our important clients who would like to see closer integration of AWT and Veson services," said Haydn Jones, CEO of AWT. "The immediate goal is for AWT's use of Veslink formatted ship reports that will help to reduce the load on ship's masters for preparing multiple similar daily reports. In today's world of ever deeper and closer operational integration of ship and shore-based management, this is a step in the right directin. Veson Nautical is an internationally recognized maritime service provider and we are proud to be working with them."

John Veson, Veson Nautical Co-President said, "AWT is a key leader that consistently delivers valuable innovations and services to the maritime industry. Veson Nautical is delighted to partner with AWT, enabling our clients to further optimize their voyage routing."

The companies look forward to delivering additional software integration points over the coming years. Photos are available at www.awtworldwide.com/press/.
