Our Recent Initiatives

MESPAS strengthens its Asian local presence with its newly opened subsidiary in Singapore. With having some of the largest ports in the world, the Asian market has always been of vital importance in MESPAS' history. MESPAS’ Maritime Software Solutions have been in use in South East Asia for more than eleven years.

It was only a matter of time to expand and open an office in Singapore. With this step MESPAS aims to satisfy the highest requirements in terms of customer service and be even closer to their existing and future clients in Asia.

MESPAS is proud to have Mr. Shridhar Viswanathan on board to lead the local Singapore office. Besides having a strong background in the maritime industry, he is as well experienced in working with MESPAS products as a marine manager for many years before.

MESPAS is headquartered in Zurich Switzerland and underpins its truly global outreach with this establishment to gain further foothold in the Asian market.

The Digital Ship announces their very first CIO Forum with a focus on the maritime supply chain. As MESPAS is the leading software provider for efficient processes in purchasing and sourcing, it is no question to us that we participate this event. Even more, we will release a disruptive new technology just before. Visit us and learn more! Click here for more information about the event.

We proudly notice that our new product Vessel Performance Analytics finds its way to editorials in scientific journals.

Then have a closer look at the article or contact us anytime.

The European Union has defined a new regulation 2015/757 for the shipping industry; known as MRV regulation. MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, Verification) basically addresses greenhouse gas emission – targeting a transparent view on shipping industry emission in a first phase and obviously, a reduction in a second phase. The first MRV regulation implementation milestone, relevant for fleet-managers and fleet-owners, is scheduled for August 2017 already.

Furthermore, as of beginning 2019, the IMO will require MRV like reporting of greenhouse gas emissions globally. Thus, these initiatives are relevant for you, no matter where your vessels are operated.

Here is the good news: MESPAS decided to cover both regulations completely. Therefore, no need for you to validate 3^rd party solutions; your vessel crews and office staff will be able to cover the new regulatory requirements with the product they are already familiar with, MESPAS PAM.

Launch of the new functionality is planned for April 2017. Further details about functionality, associated services and pricing will be unveiled soon. Like to learn more? Don’t hesitate to contact us.
