CONNECT is an online portal built to help customers in the maritime industry manage their lines. Working seamlessly with the Samson app and accessible by field personnel and staff, CONNECT includes inspection details, fleet analysis, data management, trend analysis, line life predictions, and rope condition visibility. Featuring a rope-centric dashboard, users can easily see upcoming maintenance, robust reports, including pre-port acceptance reports, and manage incoming data from the Samson app. In addition, CONNECT gives you the power to view, compare, and manage vessels at the Fleet level.
Samson’s CLASSROOM includes 12 courses ranging from Line Inspection Procedures to line installation and repair procedures. Not only does CLASSROOM improve crew knowledge and encourage safe decision-making, but Samson industry experts also lead these specialized training courses.
