• Software company Omniware was acquired by Omega in 2010
• Omnicom and Omnisafe then became a part of Omega’s product portfolio
• Omnisafe is utilized in three shipping companies, and Omega will strengthen it's focus for Omnisafe in this market in 2012
• Omnicom is a contract management system with over 10 000 users worldwide; clients include the State of Ohio and UKAEA (The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority)

This year, Omnisafe has entered the shipping industry with sales of the Health and Safety software solution to international operators of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) ships.

Omega is now preparing to secure its footing in the shipping industry, particularly within LNG shipping.

Increased demand

Omnisafe is currently utilized in three shipping companies, managing approximately 80 ships worldwide; Shell Shipping, Nigeria LNG and Qatar Gas Transport Company.

“LNG is important for the UK; almost 25 per cent of the UK’s LNG needs are imported. Demand has increased and so has the need for HSE software solutions like Omnisafe,” Omega’s UK Sales Account Manager, Hallam explains.

Omega’s next step towards further expansion in shipping is an upcoming Omnisafe campaign in LNG Shipping magazine early next year, says Omega Project Systems Manager, Arnt Mundal.

Focus in 2012

“There is a lot of potential for Omnisafe in the shipping market. Now we will put all our efforts into optimizing our product and hope this campaign will provide results,” Mundal says.

Omnisafe is already implemented in several government departments in the UK, including the Ministry of Defence and the Environment Agency.

“In 2012 we will focus on creating opportunities for Omnisafe with the LNG companies, which may also include land-based companies,” Hallam says.
