Aside from merging the two previous applications wehavealso introduced; •Colour coded system on vessels to easilyidentifywhich are covered, uncovered, National flag etc. Thecolours being;o Green – Covered vessel o Yellow – Vessel undernegotiation(Prospect agreement) o Red – Uncovered FOC vessel oOrange –National flagged vessel o Blue – Cruise vessel •Hotlinkstoaffiliate contact information by touching the Signatory Unionnameon covered vessel details • Ability to contact the ITFHelplinedirectly from the app via telephone or email • Links totheITFglobal and ITFSeafarers websites • Greater information ontheITF and FOC campaign Please note that response times willvarydepending on the device connection (Wifi, 3G etc.) and theamountof information you are searching for. If you havepreviouslydownloaded the Look up a Ship and Find an Inspector/Unionapps Iwould advise you to remove them as they will shortly bedeletedfrom the respective app stores.
