IHS Markit and eMPX, a maritime high-technology company, are
proud to announce a collaboration that will deliver customers in
the maritime pilot industry direct integration of the IHS
Markit/IMO vessel database into the eMPX master pilot exchange
application.
Jason Ranston, Business Manager at eMPX said, "IHS Markit
provides our eMPX customers with a dramatic enhancement in the way
they treat their eMPX vessel database. It gives them
up-to-the-minute, comprehensive vessel details which enable them to
make better decisions when completing their pilotage planning, and
while they are going through the process of information
confirmation with the ship's master."
Guy Sear Maritime & Trade Vice President at IHS Markit
added, "IHS Markit is thrilled to be working with eMPX to help them
and their customers move forward with the ever increasing role that
digitisation has in the maritime environment, and look forward to
many years of successfully working within the master and pilot
community along with eMPX."
IHS Markit has over 300 years history in the Maritime sector and
holds a unique position in today's industry as the sole issuing
authority of the IMO vessel and company number. This along with
over 25,000 supplementary sources allows IHS Markit to remain the
market leader in merchant shipping data and analytics. Delivered
via an API, the data integration will enable eMPX to further
streamline the master pilot exchange process by removing the
requirement to manually enter vessel dimensions and other key
fields which is time consuming and prone to errors. IHS Markit and
eMPX are delighted to confirm that the integration is live within
eMPX and available for customers now.
