Helm Onboard™

Helm Onboard™ is a Microsoft Windows™ based software module that runs on your vessels, collects important information, and transfers it back to head office over satellite, cellular, or WiFi. If used in conjunction with other Helm software modules, information on shore can also be synchronized with your vessels. It's the easiest onboard system to learn and use because of the intelligent touch-screen design and simple interface.

    "Helm Onboard has greatly increased the efficiency in Blessey Marine’s Dispatch department. The ability to quickly search and find voyage events has reduced the time spent reconciling tankerman service invoices by at least 50%. The Helm system has also helped streamline our day-to-day dispatching activities by allowing us to quickly print vessel position reports and track all aspects of a vessel’s voyage."
