The Maritime Service Suite (MSS) is our latest technical platform, in which we bring together the future generations of our solutions. As this is just another evolution of our existing solutions, you will recognise many features. But the integrated approach will give us many more new possibilities and the functionality will grow over time.

What is MSS exactly? MSS is a service-oriented architecture that provides both real-time data and the functionality for running (for example) a system for Vessel Traffic Services, Coastal Surveillance, Port or Terminal Management.

MSS can be installed on-premise or run in the cloud. Customers have the choice to set up their own private cloud or to use an existing commercial cloud provider. This gives our customers flexibility and makes it easy to keep your IT applications together.

You can choose the services you need and extend your system over time. This is flexible and results in the most cost-effective solution. Customer feedback and input to our roadmap are key. In this way, we can shape our maritime future together and provide solutions that make sense.

For example, a small port may need elementary VTS services and terminal management functions, preferably hosted in a cloud environment in the form of a subscription, whereas a coastguard might prefer more extensive functionality (including Search and Rescue (SAR), Virtual aids for navigation (AtoNs) and AIS mail) running on on-premise hardware owned and managed by the coastguard.
