Virgin Islands Shipping Registry

The challenge 

Following its designation as a Red Ensign Category 1 member - enabling the registration of larger commercial vessels - the VISR identified the need for a more modern and capable platform. Their current legacy systems were no longer fit for purpose and did not meet the expectations of the UK Government or international standards. To support continued growth and uphold service excellence, the VISR sought a digital solution that would centralise key functions such as CSR control, certification management, document issuance, and on-demand access to management data.

The solution 

After evaluating available solutions and consulting with fellow Red Ensign Group members, the VISR selected Oceans HQ and their solution Oceans Cloud. This decision was reinforced by long-standing professional relationships, a strong initial impression of the platform's effectiveness, and their proven track record and deep domain expertise. 

Oceans HQ deployed Oceans Cloud - a comprehensive registry and certification management platform, tailored to the specific needs of VISR. The transition included seamless data migration from the legacy system, ensuring minimal disruption while providing immediate access to advanced functionality, secure cloud infrastructure, and real-time analytics.
