Wessels Reederei GmbH & Co. KG. Arno de Groot , IT Manager

Ladies and Gentlemen,

welcome at the Digital Ship Conference 2012. My Name is Arno de Groot , IT Manager of Wessels Reederei. Last year I was sitting relaxed in one of these rows listening to the case studies of company Peter Doehle and others. I was a little surprised about the question of Julie Ann Chan as she asked if we are interested in talking as well here to others and explaining about our daily doing. Thank you to the people of Digital Ship getting this chance here today.

I will not spend too much time explaining who we are. At the next few minutes I will roughly show some details of our Company. If there is more interest in our Company and you like to read more about us please visit

Software

SoftwareAdobe Acrobat 7

To reduce the workload in our com-pany and to avoid mistakes in the forms format changes, we decided to go a new way. Globe uses Adobe Acrobat V7 in combination with GlobeForms V2.x till 3.x with the vessels of our fleet. That was a good product in 2005 and it worked smoothly.

Software

Hardware Fleet 33 Terminals

The first time when we used Fleet 33 Terminals for data communications we expected better data transfer because of a more powerful hardware. The technology switch to systems with active antennas was a great development. Iridium which we use as well only has non active antennas.

Software /Dualog

HardwareFleetbroadband

Advantages Better network quality than Fleet33IP ProtocolBetter connectivity to other systems Public IP possibleIncluded data volume contracts keep data consumption and monthly costs under controlSim card cut-off-data limits possible


Disadvantages Always on requires traffic controlInternet usage to be controlledIP Handset blocks one LAN PortPowerful internal protection missing MB charged by Inmarsat with every connection that is built up from a Fleetbroadband Terminal


These before mentioned reasons led on our side to install hardware firewalls. With these firewalls we allow only this so called wanted traffic. In our case at the moment it is just Email. But we put the focus not only on the todays necessary traffic. We like to be prepared as well for future developments.

Hardware

Dualog CorePro Firewall

Dualog CorePro FirewallWe decided to install the Core Pro Software Firewall at the smaller vessels of our fleet. The installation and configuration time is less than the time needed to be spent with the hardware firewall with integrated router. This has to be considered as well. Another reason is that these vessels do not arrive very often at ports near our office. Travelling costs are in these cases higher than with container vessels which have fixed schedules.
