Looking at GT Maritime, for those who aren't familiar with GT Maritime, how would you describe it? the business that it's doing and the role that it plays in maritime.
And has it been its key to its longevity? You talk about it's been around for so many years and its success.
So what is it? What does it do? And why has it been so successful as a company, do you think?
The highest layer is understanding maritime, understanding the challenges that the shoreside infrastructure operations team face in order to maintain vessel IT and the challenges around communication and networking.
So the ability to take something, compress it so it's as small as possible, encrypt it so it's as safe as possible, and then transmit it in a way that if that link is broken, it resumes as soon as it can.
And then layering useful solutions on top of that infrastructure is is what's enabled GT to grow over the years.
So the email tool, the infrastructure operations management tool, the AI tools, all those kinds of things.
To give an example, we know that vessel owners want captains looking out the window.
We don't want them staring at their emails, reading their emails, scratching their head, trying to work out what the email's trying to say.
So one of our most recent products is an AI tool that analyzes the email and gives the captain a succinct, actionable summary so they can spend more time looking out the window.
Sometimes, even though we're surrounded by technology and innovation and development, we still have to go back to basics.
And that is looking out the window if you're doing that type of job, because that's your role.
