Thome Group provides a comprehensive range of integrated maritime services to the international shipping and offshore industries with a global crew pool of around 12,000 seafarers. It manages a fleet of more than 400 vessels, providing a mix of full third-party ship management or crew only managed services.
All Thome Group seafarers will now benefit from ShipMoney’s comprehensive platform of digital payment solutions, including crew payroll payments, international remittances, money transfers, mobile tops-ups, payroll advances, and onboard expenses.
Peter Schellenberger, Vice President – Supply Chain, at the Thome Group commented: “The COVID-19 pandemic has markedly accelerated the need to switch to card and digital payments, as the industry moves away from the old fashioned cash-to-master system and searches for more convenient digital solutions. This is the first step for Thome in its aim to move towards the ‘cashless vessel’ and I look forward to working with the team at ShipMoney to make this a reality.”
Purpose-Built Robotic Cable for Underwater Archaeology
Focusing on design and production of purpose-built cables for marine robotics, NOVACAVI has recently developed a special slightly floating tether to be connected with a Tether Management System (TMS) used for deep- sea archaeology activities.
