The maritime market is changing.

About Us

Vitesse Management Services was established in 2009 to provide Maritime Surveillance Consultancy services to Maritime Authorities, System Suppliers and for international research projects. Its aim is to move the sector forward in terms of its adoption of the latest technologies.

Today's world of software applications and cloud hosted services are still quite alien to many maritime authorities and organisations. However, the current political challenge of climate change as well as the development of autonomous shipping and the integration of supply chain logistics mean that improved efficiency, higher productivity and lower environmental impact are the realities that need to be achieved over the coming decade. Vitesse Management Services can provide consultancy services to enable the maritime sector to embrace the changes that are coming.

Vitesse Management Services was founded by Mr Peter Eade. With the benefit of more than 30 years experience in the sector, he has seen how tradition and resistance to change has held back the introduction of technologies and processes that are now common in other sectors.

With a background in the technology sector and with considerable experience gained from many years in maritime business, Vitesse Management Services is not burdened by the concept of "We have always done it this way." Vitesse Management Services can pilot a new course for Maritime Surveillance users to find ways to develop and grow systems that successfully achieve the stated operational requirements and much more. Discovering and achieving new goals is an important part of the system design journey if the solution is to be able to meet the rapidly changing needs of the 21st Century.

In Vessel Traffic Services (VTS), Coastal or Offshore Surveillance, EEZ Monitoring Control and Surveillance. Fishing Vessel Tracking, Offshore Wind Marine Coordination, Anti Smuggling and Anti-piracy, Vitesse Management Services can advise on the solutions needed to take these sectors forward by embracing the latest technologies and techniques.
