FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
You can have a full idea about ARGO by reading our FAQ session carefully. Our answers are simple and accurate. Check out what you can get byusing ARGO!.
- Why ARGO? What is ARGO?
- We named our system "ARGO", after the ship on which Jason and the Argonauts sailed from Iolcos to Colchis to retrieve the Golden Fleece, according to the Greek mythology. Bearing in mind that NCG is a Norwegian company with strong presence in Greece, it was decided that the name of our product should bring favorable connotations between the first high-sea mythological marine voyagers and the modern excellent capabilities it provides. "Argonautica" an epic poem by Apollonius Rhodius (ancient Greek poet - 3rd century BCE) is one the best sources of the myth about the quest for the Golden Fleece. "Argo" was the well-built, lightweight, seaworthy, open-seas sailing vessel. The vessel had magical properties due to the fact that a piece of timber, collected from the sacred forest of Dodona in ancient Greece, was incorporated in her bow. It could then foretell prophecies and speak of them to the crew.This is exactly the connotation we want to bring about. Fast, easy, reliable, near real-time information that ARGO VTS is able to provide to owners, managers and crews.The "ARGO" Web Platform is an in-house developed application for illustration and report management of the Vessel's/Yachts positions to our customers' screens. Other applications are also incorporated into our platform thus creating a cohesive informational status of any vessel/yacht's whereabouts, if it is subscribed to our service, as well as of the conditions surrounding or to be met by the vessel/yacht..
- What are the main features of ARGO, how can we start working with it, how fast we can start using the application?
- ARGO is a fleet/vessel tracking application that allows you to track your fleet anywhere in the world. It can provide and combine the following characteristics: Coastal AIS tracking or ARGO tracking, navigational warnings, ECA Zones on Google Maps, Nautical Maps, Piracy warnings, Weather and Currents forecast, and various alerts. Since ARGO is a specialist system anyone acquainted with the maritime business environment will very easily find the way through its various options. Setup procedures are minimal and well documented upon purchase of the product. So starting up should be considered an easy and fast task.
- How can we buy ARGO services, what kind of support we have and what about pricing?
- Just follow the links provided on our websites and reach the Purchase menu on NGC AS webpage and choose the plan you wish to have for your fleet. There are two options available for using our services, or you can get in touch with us to provide a flexible and customized solution. We support you 24/7 via e-mail or on line chat.
- Does ARGO require special training for users and admins?
- ARGO does not require any special training for all people involved in using it. The interface is simple and user friendly, and experience by use can be obtained very easily. Our team is also available for any queries that might occur during the use of the application.
- What kind of infrastructure and software do we need for using ARGO? Who can provide them? What application should be installed onboard? What is it used for? Are there any security issues from installing this application? Are there any other options available?
- A basic platform is needed for the use of ARGO. We are almost certain that it already exists in your offices and vessels. So, what you need is a modern Web Browser for the WEB application. Also, WINDOWS 7, or later, with NET Framework 3.5 or later, are the least requirements (this applies only for the application that is installed onboard). In order you could see your vessel in near real time manner, in ARGO VTS web application, application should have, in near real time, the vessel's position. This position is taken from vTracker application which is installed onboard. vTracker gets vessel's position from vessel's satellite antenna and sends it to ARGO Server in a completely safe manner. The signals are of minimal data volume (about 60 bytes for each track, which means less than 3MB per year for transition rate of 15 minutes), thus their transmission is of minimal cost for the ship. If you do not wish to install the vTracker application on your vessels, we give you the option to run ARGO only with data that are gathered through the Coastal AIS. In this case, though, we cannot guarantee that signal reception is timely, something that might result in less accuracy. The choice should always lie within your scope of decision making. ARGO supports both ways of data gathering, and there is no price difference for the ARGO application, whatever choice your company makes. We are here to support you and we strongly suggest that your company should opt for the satellite option.
