Consilium and Orange unveil Current At Sea
Consilium and Orange Business Services have launched a paperless navigation solution that extends an Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) over the world's largest MPLS-based network. This bundled, flat-rate solution named Current At Sea is said to enable shipping companies to move to a fully electronic platform for navigation and communications.
Current At Sea is believed to be a future-proof, modular ECDIS and communication system that can include voyage optimization programs, fleet and ship management systems, and real-time monitoring applications. Orange is expected to bridge the ship and shore by integrating ECDIS with Orange's fully managed network (both terrestrial and satellite, including Inmarsat FleetBroadband connectivity). The Orange network is supposed to ensure accurate, precise data and provides value added enterprise communications such as Business Talk Global, IP Telephony, WAN optimization, M2M and video conferencing to ships at sea.
Nicolas Roy, Head - Network Solutions Business Unit, Orange Business Services said, "Current At Sea is a one-stop-shop solution that is not about simply replacing paper nautical charts with digital ones but is about completely rethinking business processes in order to improve safety, efficiency and costs. This bundled, fixed-price offering with Consilium will help shipping companies revolutionize the way their vessels operate and significantly improve the way they do business."
