Better information accessibility and control will encourage more design and information reuse, not only jumpstarting new programs and cutting development cycle times, but also enabling us to bid more competitively on new projects." About SeaQuest Technologies SeaQuest Technologies supplies completely-integrated solutions of marine information systems technologies. Its systems support harbor authorities faced with increasingly demanding operational decision-support system requirements To be used efficiently, all computer software needs certain hardware components or other software resources to be present on a computer system. These pre-requisites are known as (computer) system requirements and are often used as a guideline as opposed to an absolute rule. . SeaQuest Technologies is headquartered in Canada with a network of business units providing specialized marine information systems solutions, including: - Integrated Marine Information Infrastructure - Telecommunication and Information Systems - Safety, Security and Surveillance - Knowledge Management. A big challenge in the marine industry, nowadays, is to make information systems more efficient in supplying decision-makers with accurate tools, allowing making the right decision at the right time, thereby insuring that all necessary measures are taken to enhance capacities and guarantee optimized cargo traffic while maintaining security and safety. This requires integration of equipments such as radars, VTS See VOB and virtual tape system. VTS - A suite of test programs for Motif from OSF. , voice radio sub system, DGPS (Differential GPS) See GPS augmentation system. , AIS, EMS and many more navigational/environmental or security modules that supply pertinent and complementary information, yet that do not traditionally communicate with each other. SeaQuest Technologies develops its Integrated Marine Information Infrastructure concept to enable interoperability of all these sub systems to assist ports in optimizing their operational throughputs in waterways. The company also offers worldwide, especially in developing countries, a range of services related to information systems in public business management and conducts surveys to make recommendations for complying with international standards such as ISPS code The International Ship and Port Facility Security Code is an amendment to the Safety of Life at Sea Convention, SOLAS (1974)/(1987).
