Athens/Greece, Hamburg/Germany, 13 April 2011 – In order to improve their strategic and operational ship management activities, Greek oil and shipping company Aegean Bunkering Services decided to implement Germanischer Lloyd’s fleet management software suite GL ShipManager and GL FleetAnalyzer.
Germanischer Lloyd’s software unit GL Maritime Software will provide its integrated ship / fleet management software for 52 vessels of Aegean Bunkering’s fleet. Aegean Bunkering will install the Technical Management and Procurement System of the GL ShipManager suite in their offices and onboard their vessels. The modules will enable the company to manage their tasks more time and cost efficiently, provide increased transparency of all vessel data and help to keep operations in line with industry requirements such as ISM and TMSA. With the addition of GL FleetAnalyzer, powerful reporting and analysis of the entire fleet is possible.
