Productivity up, transparency up, hassles down
The challenge of optimal ship operations
Managing a fleet of vessels has always been a challenge, and one that has become even more complex today. With competitive pressure growing and overcapacity occurring in parts of the market, ship managers need to maximise uptime and ensure that ships are well-maintained while at the same time minimising inspection and maintenance efforts, keeping costs of spare parts and repairs down, and complying with all rules and regulations. Experienced ship managers know it's all about organisation: having the right information available at the right time, keeping track of important processes you have started, not spending the whole day only troubleshooting. Modern ship management software increases transparency and productivity, and reduces external costs incurred in ship management and operations. • Compliance management – documentation, certificates, ISM, TMSA, Incident / Deficiency Management • Crew data – crew member data, wages, drills & training • Voyage management – port clearance, port information, documentation, eNOA/D
