Oslo, Norway, Nov 14, 2012: MSI Ship Management Pte Ltd (MSI), a renowned ship management company operating out of Singapore, is making a major IT system upgrade for its full fleet, choosing BASSnet™ for its total solutions requirements.
MSI is switching to BASS to achieve maximum efficiency and to realise their mission to provide the highest quality ship management services to their valued customers. “We chose to work with BASS because they share a similar commitment to service quality and service excellence that complement our business strategies, said Li Kwok Hung, Managing Director of MSI. “We went for the complete modules of BASSnet™ suite software solutions,” he added, highlighting the competitive advantage that it gains with this new implementation.
The advantages arise from BASS’ award-winning software solutions that include modules for maintenance, procurement, operations, safety management, risk management, review and improvement of operations, human resource management, payroll, and report generation.
