CNCo improves data exchange ship-to-shore
The China Navigation Company (CNCo) is cooperating with Dualog, a Tromsø (Norway)-based maritime digital platform provider, in the use of Dualog Drive, a maritime-optimised file and folder replication service that is designed to simplify the collection and distribution of large data volumes between ship and shore.
Founded in 1872, CNCo is the oldest operating entity and deep shipping arm of the Swire group. CNCo owns and manages a sizeable deep-sea fleet of multi-purpose, container and bulk vessels.
Gerry Bonner, general manager fleet services at CNCo, said: "Dualog Drive has proved to be an efficient means to share information from shore to ship and vice versa for CNCo. Safety documentation was our starting point, and we now use Dualog Drive to distribute and maintain a repository of SMS documents pertaining to all ships in our fleet." (mw)
