The Vasco Solution

Vasco was born of two worlds – Risk Management and Commerical Fleet Management. Vasco Systems integrates business processes, digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence in a modern User Interface with flexibility. Vasco not only takes care of the day-to-day business activities in managing a fleet of vessels, chartering in and out but it also allows the users to easily view their Risk Positions and M2M from a trading perspective. Incorporating Risk Management into shipping allows the Ship Owners to monitor the risk of bunkers and the ability to calculate CO2 Emissions to accurately become Carbon Neutral from a forward perspective. This eliminates risk, locks in returns and allows the business to easily strategize in a controlled compliant manner.
