Operational efficiency boost

An end-to-end management system for maritime operations has announced a significant update to its software platform.

CrewSmart

CrewSmart’s ‘CrewSmart v2.0’ offers new tools that support compliant, effective maritime operations. These include an industry-first ‘Compliance Score’ system that gives managers and senior teams an instant view of compliance across vessel and equipment certification, inventory, planned maintenance and safety management.

Christian Adams, managing director of CrewSmart, said that the update will help businesses avoid issues with data quality and integration of different systems when digitalising their operations.

“CrewSmart 2.0 is designed to help the market take the leap, while helping operators prioritise the KPIs that are most important to their business and their customers. We’re not stopping here, and the system will stay ‘future-proof’ by continuing to evolve in line with the changing needs of the market.”

Planned Maintenance System

In response to market demand, CrewSmart v2.0 also adds an intuitive Planned Maintenance System that has been developed directly in conjunction with vessel operators. As demands on technical performance and availability increase, this helps maritime businesses improve equipment efficiency, cut costs and prevent breakdowns.

These new features are supported by a tablet app that provides a direct interface – both on- and offline – for crews on-site, ensuring that all data inputs into the system are both straightforward and consistent. The app streamlines the way incidents, defects and safety observations are recorded via the platform, supporting reliable reporting across the board.

The platform is now actively used by more than 6000 crew and 500 vessels worldwide.
