Q88.COM NEWSLETTER - WINTER 2011 (IMPORTANT UPDATES)


 

 IN THIS ISSUE

 Officer Matrix Module Enhancements

We have made some important enhancements to the Officer Matrix module:

  • Fleet and vessel specific compliance reports are now available, click here to view a sample report.
  • Public and internal comments can now be entered. Only the "public" comments will be submitted to OCIMF.
  • The vessel detail page now offers column selection so you can select which information you wish to view. Click here to see how it works.

 Loadline Module Enhancements

We have added alerts to the Loadline Module so you can be alerted when the 'Active' loadline of any vessel is changed.  To subscribe to this alert, edit your profile.
 

 Certificate Module Enhancements

We have applied the same filtering and column sorting functionality we have in the Vetting Module to the Certificate Module. Future enhancements will include the ability to create your own custom views.
 

 Oil Company Integrations

We are continuing work to integrate our system with the various oil companies who require their questionnaire to be completed online. The following oil company's questionnaires are still under development:

  • CEPSA
  • GALP

 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Is your company website displaying out of date information for your fleet? Is your internal vessel particulars database out of date?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; click here for more information.
 

 Milbros Commodity Information System

The Milbros Chemical Information System (MCIS) has been re-launched into a web-based system. A new shipboard version is also being developed. Please find some of the key enhancements below:

  • Access to over 10,000 oil/chemical commodities
  • Ability to add private specifications, notes and documents
  • Detailed cleaning instructions for each commodity
  • Information on all IMO evaluated cleaning chemicals
  • Material Safety Data Sheets
  • Draeger/Gastec Tube information

 2012 Fees

As we stated in the Fall Newsletter, our agreement with INTERTANKO to offer a 10% discount to INTERTANKO members subscribing to Q88.com has come to an end. On the next renewal invoice, the discount will no longer be applied. We continue to have a close working relationship with INTERTANKO and the Terminal Vetting Database (TVD) will continue to be hosted on Q88.com.

The good news is that we will not be raising our fees in 2012, they will remain the same as they were in 2011.
