ISS (stand 3.501) is continuing the role out of the new service and visitors to the show can take a look for themselves. Latest countries to be added to coverage for YourISS2 are Canada, Mexico, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Mexico.

Core modules include a voyage module and operational and financial port call management, along with a real-time laytime calculator. A “whiteboard” module gives customers a single view of the entire operation and notifies the client instantly of any changes or new information.

The latest module to be released is a port intelligence element for vessel line-up information, port news, alerts and incidents,

“What we provide enhances business performance and knowledge for customers, partners and competitors. YourISS2 is not software sold separately, it is a part of our service,” commented ISS cio Bryan Philips.

Looking ahead he said: “What we’re now seeing is the start of a revolution in the industry, with greater connectivity across the supply chain and more demand for big data and IT systems that enable informed business decision-making. 

“We have already partnered with several innovative Silicon Valley-type companies entering the shipping vertical, which is a new phenomenon.”
