HOUSTON, Texas - ABS Nautical Systems today announced that they have been selected as the fleet management software provider of two Vietnamese transportation companies: Vietnam Petroleum Transportation Joint Stock Company (VIPCO) and PV Trans Oilfield Services.  These new partnerships mark the beginning of ABS Nautical Systems’ presence in Vietnam.

“We are very pleased with our decision to use NS5, as it is an easy-to-use, affordable platform and receives good support from ABS,” said Mr Pham Van Vinh, Deputy General Director of VIPCO. “NS5 has a user-friendly interface, which we found appealing in our decision to switch from a paper management system.”

VIPCO and PV Trans Oilfield Services will be using ABS Nautical Systems’ fully integrated system to allow for a more streamlined approach to fleet management. From ABS Nautical Systems’ software suite NS5, VIPCO will integrate the Maintenance & Repair and Purchasing & Inventory modules, and PV Trans Oilfield Services will integrate the Hull Inspection, Maintenance & Repair and Vessel Drawing modules. 

ABS Nautical Systems offers standardized, yet flexible solutions for fleet owners and operators to better manage their day-to-day needs. The NS5 suite of software products will help both Vietnamese companies manage their day-to-day needs and increase crew productivity, while also reducing operating costs.

“We are honored to enter the Vietnam market through partnerships with VIPCO and PV Trans,” said Karen Hughey, President and COO of ABS Nautical Systems. “We are pleased that they have chosen ABS Nautical Systems as their fleet management provider and will work to provide the best service and solutions possible to fit their needs.”
