AMTS is a joint venture enterprise
between Absolute Software Inc. (

www.panama-psa.com) with offices in Panama, Boston, Brisbane and Bangkok. Headquartered in Panama, AMTS employs a diverse, talented and innovative workforce whose passion for excellence has enabled the company to become one of the leading maritime security service providers in the world. The company is organised into two business units: the first, based in Panama, where all the day-to-day maritime safety, security and fleet management operations are administered by a seasoned team of competent professionals. The second being the research and development operations in Cambridge, Massachusetts – arguably one of the prime technology and science institutions in the world.
It offers a wide range of software
maritime solutions such as the recently introduced Fleet Information System (first in its class) that allows ship owners to
access real time fleet management, reporting and tracking data through a single web application. The Panama Maritime Authority has authorised AMTS to offer owners of Panama-flagged vessels, free tracking of their fleets through FIS. Some well-known ship owners and managers are already benefitting from the real time tracking services that AMTS provides.
AMTS’s workforce has enabled the company to become one of the leading maritime security service providers in the world.
AMTS’s VMS system allows
environmental and fisheries’ regulatory organisations to monitor position, course and speed of fishing vessels, in real time as well as providing geo-space analysis of historic data. These capabilities are key to the monitoring control and surveillance programmes at national and international levels. Balboa Employment and Crewing
agency (BECA) began servicing the seafarer’s market in September 2001 and was the first agency (so far) in Panama to do so. It has extended recruiting to the cruise industry and has been successful in placing seafarers on ro-ro cargos,
bunkering barges and container vessels and personnel on cruise vessels. All seafarers are carefully screened. International Marine Experts (IME) provides inspections of ships and yachts that have been damaged or require inspections or surveys for either insurance purposes or for pre-purchase condition and appraisal evaluations. The company, located near the Panama Canal, is comprised of a small group of professional marine engineers and ships officers that are graduates of the US Merchant Marine Academy. Its sister company, Overseas Marine Certification Services (OMCS), is both a Recognised Organisation (RO) and Recognised Security Organisation (RSO) authorised by the Panama Maritime Authority to survey and issue all necessary statutory certificates on its behalf required by the Panamanian government and the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) for Panama-flagged vessels. Intercoastal Marine Inc. (IMI) is the
leading company in the regional marine construction industry. Business has grown ‘tremendously over the last few years,’ says its ceo James J. Wiese. The company projects have included the Panama Port Co (PPC) expansion of the port of Balboa, in conjunction with Boskalis Dredging, which includes working with enormous marine structures and a massive dredging and drilling effort. Included in the expansion works are
the recently completed design and construction of berths 14 and 15 for a total of $35m and the huge phase IV – marine works I and II for the expansion which is estimated at a cost of $230m.
