(BETHESDA, Md.) -- Stratos Global Corporation, the leading global provider of advanced mobile and fixed-site remote communications solutions, today introduced StratosOceanView(TM), a new web-based service that provides fleet managers with global fleet communication monitoring and vessel tracking. Available worldwide as a free service by the end of this month, StratosOceanView provides a convenient, map-based view of each vessel's location, heading, speed, satellite communication traffic data and contact details on a single web page. The satellite communication traffic data includes an overview of monthly Inmarsat and Iridium airtime costs and AmosConnect mail queue information. StratosOceanView is ideal for ship-management companies operating fleets of all sizes, as well as ship owners and charter companies. Position reporting is based on existing Inmarsat C DNID reporting. Stratos is the largest supplier of mobile satellite services to the maritime industry, with communications to more than 40,000 maritime terminals worldwide. "StratosOceanView is much more complete than similar communication-monitoring services. It provides a wide range of critical information in a single online interface. This eliminates the need to open multiple applications to determine vessel positions and fleet-communications details," said Stratos Maritime Marketing Manager Michiel Meijer. He added, "This new solution also gives fleet managers direct access to The Stratos Advantage value-added services, which provide cost and traffic control, firewall management, data optimization, high security options, easy VPN access, messaging services and full IP range."
