P&O to install Manpower crew software

Manpower Software has agreed a deal to install its MAPS Maritime Suite onboard the new P&O cruise ship, Ventura, to create a more efficient crew scheduling system.
Ventura is the latest addition to the P&O Cruise fleet, and is about to launch its service in Southampton, UK. Weighing in at 115,000 tonnes it is the largest superliner built for the British market.
Manpower says that its MAPS Maritime Suite is already in use by Carnival Corporation vessels, including Princess Cruises, Cunard, Ocean Village and P&O Cruises. The solution aims to allow for effective planning of crew rotations for 1,200 crew and ensure all paperwork for immigration is in order on arrival and departure at ports of call.
Crispin Jessop, Manpower Software's account director for maritime, commented: "We are delighted P&O Cruises, who has been a customer since 1999, chose Manpower Software's MAPS Maritime Suite for optimising onboard personnel on Ventura and wish her well for her future maiden voyage."
