ProLog’s Proven InnovationsSM for maritime technical services includes the following customer observation:  “The shipyard began performing work on deployed vessels to Bahrain.  The shipyard customer requested the contractor send the individual who packaged the material to Bahrain in order to improve the receipt process.  The presence of the supply contractor working with the away team was a huge success.  The support effort to Bahrain occurs several times annually.  The process has been standardized to include direct supply contractor receipt in Bahrain for efficiency purposes.”
