This common port 80 is the port used for all OWM communication except for the map, data needed to draw the map are communicated using the 8080 port. Unofficially the 8080 part is reserved for Apache Tomcat (see Wikipedia). In many firewalls this port is closed, just to be on the safe side and as long as nobody needs it.

GIS means Geographical Information System and is any system that captures, stores, analyzes, manages, and presents data that are linked to location. Technically, a GIS is a system that includes mapping software and tools that can be implemented with GIS software.

For Trident, being a GIS system means you can analyze all data in a spatial manner. You wondered where your jack-up-barge was when a certain event? This can be easily retrieved from your Trident database.

All data (milestones, AIS, weather) Trident collects is stored in a database. This database is built in the open source PostGis/PostgreSQL environment. This means no extra costs for an expensive database are necessary.
