1. What are the System Requirements?

We are offering SMMS on the cloud, this means that you don't have to worry about procuring/maintaining a server for hosting SMMS in office. Just tell us the number of vessels in your fleet, the number of users in office, and we will get you up and running in no time. 
All your users in office will be able to access SMMS over the internet. Users will also be able to access SMMS globally.

For vessels, SMMS will be hosted on board. You will find details in this article below. Also, if you would still like to host SMMS in office on premises, look at the details below.

SMMS can be run on a standalone machine or on a network of computers, using the client server configuration. SMMS can even be hosted in a VM environment. Setup is easy and we are here to help you at every step. View detailed lists of these requirements using the links below:
