Vancouver, Canada — Offshore Systems International Ltd (OSI) (TSX: OSI / OTCBB: OFSYF) announced today that the Portuguese Navy has informed SICOM, OSI’s in-country partner in Portugal and the prime contractor for the installation, that ECPINS® has been selected by the Portuguese Navy to transform approximately thirty of their ships from paper-chart based navigation to ECDIS electronic chart-based navigation. SICOM and OSI will now negotiate a final agreement with the Portuguese Navy.
