In inland shipping, everything revolves around efficiency. The better you can monitor your ships and barges, the smoother operations run. Tresco Engineering supports this with smart navigation and data solutions for over 6,500 vessels.

One of their handy systems is Tresco Barge Tracking. It ensures that the position of barges is always precisely known. And it gets even easier: at the customer’s request, these positions can automatically be forwarded to port authorities. This means less paperwork and administrative hassle—for example, when calculating port dues. A smart way to save both time and money!

The Benefits of Real-Time Data for Port Fees

By using real-time data, you can significantly cut down on port fees. This brings two major advantages:

  • Cost savings: You only pay for the actual time spent at the dock, with no unnecessary extra charges.
  • Efficiency: Everything is tracked automatically, improving planning and speeding up processes.

All-in-One Solution: Tresco Fleet Management

The Tresco Fleet Management system offers even more smart tools for shipping companies and captains. Using a smartphone or computer, you can see exactly where your vessels are. Captains can also easily enter important information, such as waiting times and loading/unloading times.

What makes this system so convenient?

  • Automatic registration: Barges are registered immediately upon arrival in the port—no hassle.
  • Onboard black box: All key data, such as routes and sailing speeds, are automatically recorded.
  • Navigis River: This system displays a 3D map of the surroundings, making navigation easier and safer.
  • Tresco Fleet App: With the app, you can track your fleet anytime and anywhere—both on water and on land.

With these smart technologies, Tresco Engineering helps inland shipping companies manage their fleets more efficiently, reduce costs, and keep everything running smoothly. Less paperwork, more control—and above all, a lot less hassle!
