Discover how Marinsa reduced manual administration, improved visibility and gained greater control over file distribution between shore and vessels.
Managing file distribution across a fleet can be a time-consuming task for maritime IT teams, particularly when working with multiple vessels and varying connectivity conditions.
For Marinsa, the challenge was finding a more efficient way to manage file distribution between shore and vessels. IT Manager Mr Ozer Kaya was looking to simplify fleetwide transfers, reduce manual administration and improve visibility of file delivery.
The challenge of managing fleetwide file distribution
Marinsa previously relied on Microsoft OneDrive to distribute files between shore and vessels. While suitable for general file sharing, the process was not optimised for the demands of fleetwide distribution.
For IT Manager Mr Ozer Kaya, managing individual transfers required valuable time and effort, while limited centralised visibility made it difficult to monitor delivery across the fleet.
He needed a more efficient, secure and reliable approach that would simplify administration and provide greater control over file distribution.
Introducing a more efficient approach with GT Replicate
Working alongside local partner Deckhouse, Marinsa introduced GT Replicate, a dedicated maritime file transfer solution.
GT Replicate enables centralised distribution of files to multiple vessels, with automated transfers, retry and resume capabilities, and visibility of delivery status. Designed for maritime connectivity, the solution reduces manual intervention and simplifies fleetwide file distribution.
As Mr Ozer Kaya explains:
“GT Replicate gives us a centralised way to manage file distribution, with the automation and visibility we were missing before.”
Reducing administration and improving control
By moving to GT Replicate, Marinsa has benefited from a more streamlined approach to managing file distribution across its fleet.
Automated file distribution reduces repetitive tasks, freeing up valuable IT resources, while the ability to distribute files to multiple vessels through one centralised platform simplifies fleetwide management.
Improved visibility and oversight of operational file transfers provides greater confidence in delivery. Automatic retries and transfer resumption also help manage connectivity interruptions without repeated manual intervention.
Together, these capabilities support more efficient use of available connectivity, reduce administration and help Marinsa manage file distribution as its operational needs evolve.
Reflecting on the benefits, Mr Ozer Kaya, IT Manager at Marinsa, said:
“Moving to GT Replicate has made managing file distribution across our fleet much simpler. We spend less time on manual administration and have much better visibility of transfers. It gives us greater confidence in the process and allows us to focus our time on other IT priorities.”
Supporting more efficient maritime IT operations
With GT Replicate, Marinsa has moved towards a more efficient and automated approach to fleetwide file distribution. Supported by GTMaritime and Deckhouse, the solution helps reduce the administrative burden on IT while improving control and reliability.
For maritime organisations facing similar challenges, GT Replicate provides a secure, centralised approach to distributing files between shore and vessels, helping IT teams spend less time managing transfers and more time on other priorities.
