Integrated Safety Solution
Global maritime software house, NAPA, has launched an innovative data-led package of monitoring, analytic and predictive solutions to increase the safety of passenger vessels and save lives in emergency situations.
NAPA Safety Solutions harnesses the power of the volume and variety of data being collected and processed aboard vessels. It is a collection of functions and services for both the pro-active safety management of everyday operations and an advanced system to support the vital decisions taken in the first few hours of an emergency situation.
Developed to integrate the wide range of technical safety systems on board modern passenger ships, NAPA Safety Solutions include functions for planning, logging, monitoring and analysing stability and safety data. The system provides Masters with easy-to-use, meaningful tools that give them the information they need to ensure the safe day-to-day running of the ship. This includes functions for load planning, operational data logging and safety level monitoring. It also displays a simple ‘traffic light’ vulnerability meter based on key indicators such as watertight door status, navigational status and stability condition.
NAPA claims the system’s true value lies in the first critical minutes and hours of an emergency situation, when it provides essential information and predictive analysis to help the Master make confident and informed life-or-death decisions.
