Dynacom to install World Link virus software

World-Link Communications has entered into agreement with Dynacom Tanker Management of Greece to provide ShipAV anti virus services aboard its fleet of 30 tankers.
Dynacom employs a proprietary system linking its shore based office network with its fleet, and says it required a customised solution to protect its data assets at sea.
The technical teams at World-Link and Dynacom worked together to integrate the software with the proprietary Dynacom platform to provide seamless daily anti-virus updates to the vessels.
Updates can be sent over narrow band systems such as the Inmarsat mini-M, B, and over the Iridium networks. ShipAV daily updates are as small as 5kb, and cost less than $0.50 per day.
The project will initially begin with the 30 existing vessels and will be followed, by 2009, by a further 17 vessels.
Kyriakos Papapolydorou, World-Link Sales Manager said, “We are very pleased to have won a client with the standing of Dynacom Tankers. The deal provides an excellent opportunity for us to showcase our leading capability to develop, integrate and collaborate with our clients.”
