Abstract
Fleet management is the management of a company’s transportation fleet. Fleet management includes commercial motor vehicles such as cars, ships, vans and trucks, as well as rail cars. Fleet management also refers to the management of ships while at sea. Maritime fleet management contracts are normally given to fleet management companies that handle aspects like crewing, maintenance, and day-to-day operations. Maritime fleet management software as a tool of Information Technology (IT) enables people to accomplish a series of specific tasks in the management of any or all aspects relating to a company’s fleet of ships. Based on examples it can be explained importance of cloud-based maritime fleet management software solution which is presented in this paper. Also is described the framework of solution based on cloud computing (CC) in the shipping industry, allowing software as a service (SaaS) which is considered be the part of the nomenclature of CC.
