SHIPNET TO DELIVER FLEET SAFETY AND DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SOLUTION TO “K” LINE LNG SHIPPING

London — 19 November 2009 – ShipNet has been selected by “K” Line LNG Shipping (UK) Ltd to replace their Safety and Document Management solutions, sub-sections of ShipNet’s Marine ERP,  onboard their eight LNG carriers and ashore.

“K” Line LNG Shipping’s decision was based on finding a provider who could cover all their safety reporting and document management requirements, combined with user friendly functionality and reliable replication ship to shore.

According to Alexander Bjørkheim, ShipNet’s UK Sales Manager: “ShipNet’s Safety and Document Management solutions are used by leading shipping companies world-wide and we are proud to welcome “K” Line LNG Shipping as a new ShipNet customer.  

We are pleased to see that we are again awarded a contract for our safety and document management modules based on the solution we deliver and the user friendliness of the applications”. 

Geoff Whitelaw, General Manager of K Line LNG Shipping added: “We recognized the need for a more efficient means of distributing, controlling and monitoring our SMS systems. After receiving presentations from most of the leading marine software suppliers we decided that the system offered by Shipnet was the best to meet our needs. In addition, after deciding on using the Shipnet package we are extremely pleased with the progress and support we have received from them in initiating our system.”
