Vessel Management System Vessel Management System is a web-based system that provides visibility to all documents relating to the Vessel at a centralized location.

Business Scenario: Vessel owners require up-to date information on Vessel status and prefer to get reports relating to safety and inspections. As per the Vessel owner’s requirements, various specifications with respect to the vessels are provided periodically by Ship Management Companies. The Solution: Vessel Management System is a web based system that provides visibility to all the documents pertaining to the Vessel at a centralized location. The System facilitates vessel owners to view documents relating to their Vessel including the location status. • Statutory Inspection reports

Port State Control inspection reports (PSC) relating to the inspection carried out by the Port authorities can be centrally stored for each vessel. Wetting Inspection reports relating to inspections done by the customer can also be made available for viewing by vessel owners for the individual vessels. • Compliance to OCIMF & CDI

Statutory reports complying with the standards formulated by Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) and Chemical Distribution Institute (CDI) including the Harmonized Vessel particulars questionnaire (HVPQ) can be made available for Vessel owner’s reference. • Vessel Profile and Events

This module provides the profile of each Vessel as per the standard specifications and information relating to scheduled inspections. Vessel arrival and departure dates with destination details are also available.

• Scope for customization: The system can be customized to suit the specific requirements of Ship Management Organizations.

• System Benefits:

Substantial reduction in time, effort and cost in the availability of timely and accurate data for the vessel owners.

Centrally stored web based system facilitates access from anywhere, anytime for instant information..

Only Authorized users can log into to the system and get the required data. This ensures security to the information available in the system.

Data when stored in a database can be used for obtaining strategic information from the historical data. This will bring down the time and effort spent in retrieving critical data from the records, besides ensuring accuracy of information at any point in time.

The system can also be extended to be used as a collaborative Intranet by establishing discussion forums between the Vessel owners and Ship Managers. Similar Discussion forums can also be established between the Vessel team and the Corporate Office. Such an extension would significantly bring down the time and cost involved in communication.
