Softship won the logistics company Tyrholm & Farstad of Alesund, Norway, as a new customer. Tyrholm & Farstad will connect to its partners ECL and NCL – both Softship customers as well.

When a contract is freshly signed, for various reasons the new customer often does not feel comfortable with being pinned to the news bulletin board on our website right away. It goes without saying, that we honor such a wish.

In the past this policy resulted in many silent business transactions and a wrong impression of the level of our business activity.

We feel that a compromise might help that will protect the privacy of our customers as well as satisfy the legitimate interest of our investors. We will relate to new customers who wish to stay anonymous with a neutral logo and only the continent and month of the deal.

As a matter of fact, Softship won four additional customers in the second half of 2009, who have not been published:

• An African agent in July 2009
• A North-American carrier in September 2009
• A short-sea carrier in Europe in November 2009
• An African agent in January 2010

The next course at the Softship Academy is dedicated to
IT administrators. The training will be conducted from
November 2 - 6, 2009.

The following subjects are part of the training: Advanced administration of Softship’s applications, Crystal Reports and efficient use of EDI GUARD.

Softship's Shareholders Meeting

Softship invites all shareholders of the company to this year's AGM:

With Germa Shipping and Stevedoring Softship reached a high-profile agreement in December 2008.

The Tripoli based company will be deploying the ALFA agency suite with LINE, CMC, AIDA and EDI GUARD.

About 100 users will be working the system in locations in Libya as well as in branches in Dubai and Piraeus.

This is a major step into the thriving Arabian markets and an excellent opportunity for Softship to prove its worth to a very interesting clientele.

The signing ceremony took place in a suitably exalted atmosphere in Dubai, where representatives of both companies met in the spirit of a fresh start and optimistic outlook into the business year 2009.

John Good Shipping, Hull, signed a Softship contract on the end of December 2008. They will be using Softship LINE for their principal MACS  for bookings and complete documentation.

Three users in different UK locations be working the application online on a MACS server.

The first meeting of Softship customers in Hamburg on October 16 and 17 was a raging success. Representatives of 16 companies partook in the event and learned about novelties, interesting features and profitable uses of the Softship applications.

In round table discussions the participants debated topics such as profit/loss, equipment costs and process optimization in close collaboration with Softship.

Frontier Liner Services (FLS) decided to use Softship's LIMA to run their shipping line and agency operations. Founded in 1991, FLS selected Softship after an extensive research and analysis process.
