SANDY HOOK PILOTS PICK AMERICAS SYSTEMS FOR DISPATCH SOLUTION

SANDY HOOK PILOTS PICK AMERICAS SYSTEMS FOR DISPATCH SOLUTION    The United New York and New Jersey Sandy Hook Pilots Associations have contracted with Americas Systems Inc., a provider of real-time management tools, to develop a pilot scheduling and dispatching system.
   ASI will provide an application that includes a billing module that will integrate with a third-party commercial software accounting package, as well as a dispatching system that connects with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s real-time monitoring of ship and cargo arrivals.
   The new system will replace the pilots’ wall-mounted scheduling board with plastic tags, said Steve Bushey, president of Americas Systems, based in Murray Hill, N.J.
