Ferries & Short Sea Operations

P&O Ferries' Marine Software Progress

01 Oct 2005

UK based Marine Software Ltd has signed an exclusive new contract with P&O Ferries to provide fleet wide procurement, planned maintenance and stock control software systems.

Managers from P&O Ferries and Marine Software Ltd conclude the deal.

The contract will see Marine Software providing full crew training at their own UK training facility, along with all ship board installations. Marine Software will also interface the centralised procurement module into their CODA accounting system.

The decision was taken following Marine Software's experience with P&O's North Sea and Irish Sea operations, where the marine planned maintenance and stock control modules proved to be fully functional, easy to use and well supported.

P&O will now be able to control all of its UK based operations centrally from its base in Dover. The new package is due to go live this month following acceptance trials.

Commenting on the contract award decision, P&O's fleet manager Mike Langley said, 'Marine Software Ltd offered a fully integrated IT package for procurement, planned maintenance and stock control best suited to our onboard management systems, delivering a flexible solution closest to a bespoke system, off the shelf.'
