For more than 10 years we have been boat owners. We own a powerboat as a second home and retreat and like to travel around the world. In recent years, we have been confronted with events that have inspired us to think. Among them were various water dips, which were always discovered too late. The reasons for this were quite different. Mostly it was a concatenation of events. Just like the classics - a small leakage at the shaft passages, the water collectors or in the exhaust line, paired with empty batteries, because no power cable was plugged in. In one case, the entire marina docks were powerless, as the RCD triggered. However, no one is aware of this. Thus, no bilge pumps could work and the boat floods. As the port master remarked that the boat was lower in the water, it was already late and the interior flooded and furniture and engine under water. Even if these situations do not occur, the batteries are usually discharged in the case of a batch of charge for long periods. A new set of batteries is always due when you need it least. The change mostly has to be done when you want to go on holiday or just do not have time for it.
Another important aspect is that the boat owners usually do not live just around the corner, usually several hundred miles away and do not even know what happens at the marina or on board. There is always some uncertainty that we would like to interrupt with our software VisuShip. VisuShip was born at the end of 2016 and developed by ourselves. We thoroughly tested VisuShip on our own boats and now want a quiet conscience. By VisuShip you can monitor your boat on board or remotely via a smartphone, tablet or PC. We have developed various packages that can be extended by our VS-cloudservice. Have look around! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate and contact us!
