Working in this mode makes it possible to inform the fleet command about current events in a timely and high-quality manner.

The technology of sending photos by e-mail has also been developed. At the moment, the rapid transmission of photo information over any distance is a reality and is used in practice. The only, but most serious obstacle to the implementation of this new feature is the issue of financing.
