Globe Wireless® releases GlobeOffshore® v2.0
the workboat management system

Foster City, California, USA (21 June 2000): Globe Wireless, a leading provider of maritime communication solutions, has released GlobeOffshore version 2.0. GlobeOffshore is designed to streamline the management of offshore workboats both aboard the vessel and in the shore office. The shipside component captures vessel activities, financial codes, cargo, crew, engine, anchor handling information, positional data, and more. The data is automatically transferred to the shoreside office component and manipulated to generate reports and track vessels. It provides owners and managers with the critical data required to make informed operational and strategic decisions.

"The two hot new features of version 2.0 are the ability of GlobeOffshore to generate a Master's Log aboard the vessel and the added compatibility with major MIS systems including, Oracle, Microsoft SQL, and Sybase," states Richard Johnson, VP Sales and Customer Support for Globe Wireless. "The GlobeOffshore system is one more product we (Globe Wireless) are dedicated to providing as part of our complete communication solution for the maritime community."

Ray A. Wrice, Logistics and Systems Manager with Energy Logistics, Inc, says, "Globe Wireless's use of the ORACLE database configuration and its ODBC compliance will ensure ELI's ability to develop the interface between GlobeOffshore and ELI's own Logistics Support System (LSS). This capability will go a long way in meeting ELI's short and long-term business requirements of providing cost-effective and efficient offshore logistics for our E & P customers. I am expecting GlobeOffshore to continue to play a pivotal role in ELI's ongoing growth." According to Steve Candito, President of National Response Corporation (NRC), "The GlobeOffshore vessel tracking system has become an essential part of our emergency response arsenal. GlobeOffshore provides NRC with real time vessel locations and dispatch capabilities. NRC can activate GlobeOffshore to determine what assets are available, their ETA;s, and within minutes, locate vessels with skimming and storage capability that could respond. This type of unprecedented response can only be effected through the use of an integrated system like GlobeOffshore."

The GlobeOffshore system is compatible with the Globe Communication Center(TM) , provided by Globe Wireless. The Globe Communication Center is the link between the vessel and Globe Wireless's complete maritime communication solution.
