Maintain Database

As well as being necessary to support the operation of OAS, the discipline of standard terminology reduces communication problems between different parts of the organisation. This is particularly important for grade codes.

Another benefit of OAS is as a usable repository of information on shipping - the vessel database. Very often shipping information is stored but is not available to the people who have to make decisions about shipping in their daily business - the Schedulers, the Jetty Operator for example. Easy import facilities make it possible to synchronise the OAS vessel data with an external vessel register
