The VMOSnet is an integrated Fleet Management System covering the different aspects of ship management. The ship database is installed on the ships server and works on the ships intranet. The office system is web based and the office and ship databases are synchronized by means of transmission of changes to data as email attachments between the ship and office. The generation of data files, their transmission via email and replication of the respective databases is seamless automatic process.
