The AVECS Corporation AG is a software company developing quality & safety management software for the marine industry in accordance with ISO 9001.
The company was founded in 1994 as a two-man company based in Potsdam. The ever-increasing rate of accidents at sea and falling safety standards gave Captain Hans-Werner Schleiter the idea to try and change this situation by developing specialised safety software. The concept was based on the then new international legislation (ISM - International Safety Management Code), introduced to improve safety onboard ships worldwide.
During the development of the system, experts from maritime industry, nautical universities and software ergonomics were involved. Test installations onboard ensured that the functionality required by users was available in a user-friendly interface.
The AVECS Corporation currently employs around 50 people, some of whom with extensive seagoing experience.
Seit Gründung der Werft 1907 durch Georg Abeking und Henry Rasmussen sind über 6400 Schiffe und Boote gebaut worden. Während bis in die 70er Jahre hinein bei A&R auch kleinere Boote und Yachten gebaut wurden, beginnt heute die Produktpalette für Schiffe und Boote ab ca. 30 Meter.
