    NEW ORLEANS, LA, September 08, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- How are fleet operators and their customers using Automatic Identification System (AIS) to improve business processes and increase revenue, decrease costs and enhance safety? How is AIS is being used by shoreside personnel across the workboat industry, including harbor tugs, liquid cargo transportation, and OSVs?

To address these questions and others, WorkBoat.com has scheduled a September 11 webinar at 1 p.m. (EDT). The cost to attend the webinar is $59. To register, visit www.WorkBoat.com.

"Through case studies, this session will provide a general overview on techniques and practices for driving business intelligence from AIS data," commented David Krapf, editor in chief WorkBoat magazine.

Krapf noted that fleet operators are well-acquainted with AIS for navigation and collision-avoidance. "In recent years shoreside users have used AIS to enhance business activities," Krapf said. "Shoreside benefits of AIS span a variety of applications including market intelligence, training, compliance, customer service, and even litigation avoidance."

Jason Tieman, Director of Maritime Solutions, PortVision, and Dean Rosenberg, President, PortVision, are the featured speakers for the webinar. The session will be focused case studies, not on a specific product or service.
