24 ships enrolled in the Amver system in the past week, a week marked by the response to the Haitian earthquake. The Coast Guard has been busy with relief efforts and MARAD has issued an advisory to ships to help better coordinate relief efforts and international trade to Haiti and the Dominican Republic.With 2010 off to a big start we are glad a steady stream of new ships continue to enroll in the Amver system. Why haven't you enrolled yet? What is your barrier to entry? Is it cost? Did you know the cost of sending an Amver position report is less than $1 a day? That's pretty cheap. Is it you don't want the United States Government tracking your ship? Consider this. Four Iranian ships earned Amver awards in 2009. Remember, we don't use vessel position data for anything other than search and rescue. So what's stopping you? Sign up today!
