Your usual reporting frequency is set to once every 6 hours (4 per day).

Fleet Management Plus shows a cyclone that is very close to the planned route for one of your vessels. You set the reporting frequency to hourly.

After 12 hours when the vessel is out of the danger area, you set the reporting frequency back to once every 6 hours.

During this time you have messaged the vessel twice via Inmarsat C to warn of the cyclone and inform the master of its latest reported strength and course.

The charge for the month is: 128 credits for received position peports, 16 credits for set reporting interval and 6 credits for 2 Inmarsat C messages. To this is added the daily charge of 5 credits, making 300 credits in total.

Emergency Use

The master informs you that the ship has lost power when approaching a harbour.

You zoom onto the vessel and set reporting interval to 10 minutes.

After 8 hours the incident is resolved.

The additional cost of monitoring this incident is 64 credits.

Request Position Report

A vessel is running late for her scheduled arrival at the next port of call and you need to try to arrange another slot for her.

In order to update the ETA, you need an instant position report so you request a position report (poll) from the vessel.

The cost of this is 5 credits.

This is a low-cost, fixed-price product for ship operators and owners on a budget.
