Strategic launches TankerIMX

Strategic Software, the provider of communications and shipping database applications, has launched a new range of Internet-based shipping support tools. Based on the company?s StrategicIMX positions and cargo order exchange, TankerIMX is designed to help with the flow of communications in the chartering and operations of tankers. The company says TankerIMX simplifies the management of ships positions and cargo orders. It says it reduces time spent on collating position lists and cargo orders and communicating such reports to counter parties. It also says that the application eliminates repetitive manual processes and reduces paperwork through collaborative sharing of voyage data in a confidential environment. TankerIMX?s Post-Fixture, to be released later, will give charterers, owners, brokers, agents, inspectors and other parties to a tanker voyage the ability to capture data at source. The sharing of voyage data in real time will enable better vessel tracking, optimise terminal planning and improve document management, says Strategic Software.
