Software for asset management on ships

Abstract

Shipping companies allow serious mistakes in the selection and implementation of software to manage their assets. As the result chosen software is either excessively complicated and expensive to use (as a result it must be declined for further usage), or poorly adapted to the specifics of common usage by ship's crew and technical department of companies, or unsuitable for making elementary adjustments to the database and existing documents. Analysis of the software usage by shipping companies allowed to develop the following conceptual recommendations for the selection and adaptation of software: in small shipping companies or companies that operate small vessels, it is recommended to use software products with "limited" functionality; software for asset management on ships allows you to raise technical management to a new level, if implemented on a large amount of ships; Classification societies certificates for asset management software on ships are not important while choosing software; during the process of asset management software implementing, it is a mistake to try to adjust it to the technologies of technical management established in companies or to connect it to the software that is already in usage; during comparison of software prices, it is necessary to take into account the total cost of the license, additional modules, the development and installation of the database, as well as user training; due to stage-by-stage delivery of software, computer costs can be reduced; responsibility for the implementation of software products should be placed on the technical divisions of shipping companies; the creation by shipping companies of their own software products for managing assets on ships can be considered justified only if the company operates a large number of ships.
