 Web Services

Is your company website displaying out of date information for your fleet? Is your internal vessel particulars database out of date? Do you have employees manually updating either one of these systems?

Q88.com now offers a solution to these manual updates. We offer an "XML Web Service" which will allow you to link your vessel data on Q88.com to your web site or corporate application. This service is completely customizable; please click the below link for more information.
