Bordelon Marine Chooses Edoc and Helm Marine Operations Software

Edoc Systems Group, developers of Helm Marine Operations Software (Helm), confirmed today that Offshore Supply Vessel provider, Bordelon Marine, has chosen Helm HSQE Manager™ and Helm Onboard™ to manage their vessel maintenance, safety, and compliance. Helm Onboard will be installed on all Bordelon vessels, but the first installation will be on their new Stingray series 260’ class DP2 OSV, which is slated for sea trials in May 2013.

“State-of-the-art equipment, excellent service, safe operations and solid ethics are the cornerstones of Bordelon Marine. So partnering with Edoc and Helm was an easy decision,” said Wes Bordelon, President and CEO of Bordelon. “Helm is state-of-the-art on-vessel and compliance software designed for our industry, which allows us to maintain our leadership position for quality and safety in the marine transportation sector.” Bordelon went on to say that he was excited to see Helm Onboard on the company’s three new Stingray vessels, which are 260 Class  long Stingray series DP2 vessels Bordelon is currently building.

Helm, which is approaching its 15th anniversary, will provide a digitized layer of efficiency to Bordelon’s already exceptional safety record. The software provides a central system for Bordelon to manage their inspections and audits as well as any deficiencies, non-conformities, or observations that may arise. To assist vessel crew with the mounting administrative duties onboard the vessels, Helm will provide full synchronization with Bordelon’s vessels to share changes to standard operation procedures and close the loop on maintenance requests and other compliance-related items.

Ron deBruyne, CEO and Founder of Edoc Systems Group said he was excited to be partnering with Bordelon Marine. “We are inspired to work with companies like Bordelon who want to stay on the forefront of safety and compliance in marine transportation,” said deBruyne. “That’s one of the main reasons we developed Helm – to help make the marine transportation industry safer.” deBruyne also confirmed that Helm will be expanding into the Offshore Supply Vessel market both Internationally and in North America.
