Globecomm Maritime has announced that its Telaurus se@WEATHER application is now available with no monthly subscription fee.
Available as part of the Telaurus se@COMM communications management suite, se@WEATHER is an icon-driven, graphical marine weather analysis system, providing instant access to accurate and enhanced current global weather with sea condition data, including surface pressure, wind direction, significant wave heights, fronts, and tropical storms.
Powered by Applied Weather Technology (AWT), se@WEATHER utilises the same interface found on AWT's BonVoyage System marine voyage optimisation system (BVS), and can be easily upgraded to AWT's fully-featured BVS system.
"The introduction of Inmarsat FleetBroadband and other higher bandwidth technologies allows ship operators to make use of powerful data applications that can improve vessel safety and productivity. se@WEATHER offers the benefits of allowing the vessel's master to view high quality analyses of current global weather and sea conditions at any time," said Malcolm McMaster, VP Globecomm Maritime and President Telaurus Communications.
"We wanted to make se@WEATHER a free of charge option to enable owners to see for themselves the increases in productivity that are possible when used with broadband." The data is delivered in a highly compressed format to minimise communication costs and generates colour-enhanced graphics that allow the ship's master or navigation officer to easily view and interpret weather and sea conditions.
Customers who were previously paying a monthly fee will now enjoy this service free of charge. New customers who register for a subscription to the service now will also be able to use the service with no fees payable.
