What we’ve improved:
Our team has optimized the system’s processing resulting in performance improvements to PurpleTRAC. These improvements have been automatically implemented and are already live.These upgrades are part of our ongoing commitment to provide you with the best possible experience.
Why it Matters
- Reduced processing times for complex operations mean you can complete your tasks more quickly and move on to what matters most. From logging in to generating Screening reports, the platform is noticeably quicker during peak times to give you a better overall experience.
- Improved system stability means fewer interruptions and more consistent performance during peak usage times.
- Pages and data load up faster, allowing you to access the information you need without delay.
Podium (Shipping & Offshore)
Geozone Entry & Exit
What’s new:
You can now set up automatic notifications when a vessel enters or exits any geozone using vessel rules.
Why it Matters:
The identity of a P&I club is important when determining the legitimacy of a claim. An unknown P&I club can increase the exposure to risk as it may be involved in sanctions violations resulting in invalid insurance cover and liability issues. Stay ahead of compliance and improve situational awareness with timely alerts across your fleet.
Draft & Destination Upgrades
What’s new:
The Fleet Sidebar now shows clearer, more complete vessel information — including reported destination and current draft — in one quick view.
Why it Matters:
Reduce manual checks and speed up daily decision-making with easier access to key voyage details.
Seaguard: Geofence and Dynamic Reporting
What’s new:
Vessels using Seaguard communicators now support geozone entry/exit and motion start/stop reporting within vessel rules and notifications.
Why it Matters:
Gain more actionable tracking and security alerts to monitor vessel movements with confidence.
API & Platform Enhancements
Meridia
What’s new:

MDA (Global Government Services)
VMS Fleet Management (Phase 1)
What’s new:
We’ve taken an important step in our VMS work.
The new VMS Fleet Management feature now lets authorities register and view their VMS vessels directly in MDA, using the familiar Register a Ship flow. Vessels appear immediately in the fleet grid, with a UI fully aligned to existing MDA patterns.
This is Phase 1 of the VMS Fleet Management rollout, with broader availability planned for a future phase.
Why it Matters:
This expands MDA from VMS positions and events to a genuine vessel management workflow, giving government users LRIT, AIS & VMS together in a single window.
Phase 2 will build on this foundation to bring the feature to more customers as our VMS capabilities continue to grow.
