During the meeting, they discussed the current state and future prospects of their bilateral cooperation, focusing on the integration of digital solutions provided by ABS Wavesight for ASCO’s fleet.

Representatives from ABS Wavesight delivered an in-depth presentation on their innovative fleet management software, including products such as "My Digital Fleet," "Nautical Systems," and "eLogs." These tools are currently in use on up to 5,000 ships worldwide.

A highlight of the presentation was the introduction of the "NSE" software from "Nautical Systems," which is successfully applied on 10 ASCO vessels.
