BW Maritime has appointed Palantir to act as the solutions partner for its fleet-wide BW Common Vessel IT Infrastructure project.
Under the agreement Palantir will work with BW on the design, implementation and support of a common IT infrastructure across all BW vessels. This new system will be built on Palantir's existing KeepUp@Sea solution, and for a period of time will be delivered as a managed service from the Palantir headquarters in Stord, Norway.
“We believe that the KeepUp@Sea solution from Palantir would best meet the overall objectives for BW, which is to provide a reliable and secure IT network onboard our vessels,” said Geraldine Pang, general manager global IT, BW Maritime.
“We have chosen Palantir because they provide a unique, comprehensive and proven solution, with many years of operational experience at major shipping companies. By utilising Palantir’s extensive experience, we will be able to jumpstart the process, and quickly start seeing the benefits.”
“Through the flexible KeepUp@Sea solution, it is possible for future upgrades and changes to be deployed from a single point onshore, reducing travel costs and improving efficiency.”
Additional deliveries covered in the agreement include hardware, logistics, roll-out and migration services onboard the vessels. Following a pilot period, the global implementation across the BW fleet will commence at the end of 2011.
“This major deal is a statement of quality – both for our KeepUp@Sea solution and the skills of the people involved in supporting and developing the KeepUp@Sea solution,” said Arvid Dregelid, CEO of Palantir.
“The core focus on standardisation and automation of IT&C services proves to be an advantage towards achieving new, international customers.
