Origin and history
How BASSnet got here.
BASS developed BASSnet as a suite of fleet management systems on Microsoft .NET. Version 2.7 launched in 2011 and version 2.10 in 2018, adding enhancements across the technical and procurement modules.
In January 2025 BASS launched BASSnet Web 3.0, and in September 2025 it renamed the web solution BASSnet Neo, a cloud-native platform. BASS also offers Neo as a fully managed SaaS service, in which it takes responsibility for running the system.
BASSnet holds DNV type approval as a fleet management system, most recently for BASSnet Neo versions 3.x and 4.x. Publicly reported users include Wilhelmsen Ship Management, Hapag-Lloyd and BW LNG.

FAQ
Questions about BASSnet work.
Are you a reseller or partner of BASSnet?
No. Norsetech Group is an independent service provider. We do not sell BASSnet; we build, audit and migrate the data that goes into it, in the format BASSnet imports.
Do you need a login to our BASSnet system?
No. We work from exports and from the BASSnet import template, so your live system is not touched.
What do you need from us to start?
The maker instruction manuals and parts lists for the vessel's equipment, the equipment list, and your BASSnet import template or an export of your current data. Where manuals are missing we tell you which equipment is affected rather than filling the gap with generic jobs.
Can you move our data from another PMS into BASSnet, or out of it?
Yes. We extract and clean the data from the current system, map it to the new platform's structure and deliver it in the new platform's import format, with the history carried across.
