DNV GL has greater than 300 vessels making use of the MMC system, with over 100 studies carried out to day.
Classification culture DNV GL claims that with its brand-new remote method to equipment intended upkeep, Machinery Maintenance Connect (MMC), rather than calling for land surveyors to take a trip per specific vessel as well as go onboard, equipment information can be refined through formulas as well as offered to clients on an electronic control panel. This allows the study of a total fleet in one procedure, while opening brand-new understandings right into vessel as well as fleet efficiency.
“In another example of the benefits our customers are seeing from increasing digitalization, MMC will bring substantial efficiencies to vessel maintenance and fleet management,” claims Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, Chief Executive Officer of DNV GL–Maritime “By using the data from the vessels, alongside a powerful learning algorithm, we can remotely perform the maintenance survey of a customer’s whole fleet in one process, saving time and reducing the disruption of daily operations.”
When proprietors begin sharing vessel equipment information with DNV GL, after that after accessing the MMC application in Veracity, DNV GL’s independent information system, the information for all vessels can be seen right away. A minimum of one year’s information have to be supplied prior to electronic MPMS studies can be executed.
“Once we have the verified MPMS data, to get going with MMC we sit down with management for an initial company audit that also functions as their annual survey,” claims Rolf Petter Hancke, Surveyor as well as Principal Engineer at DNV GL. “This reduces the time required significantly, in one case we completed surveys on 49 vessels in roughly four hours, something that would normally take 50 separate onboard surveyor visits. And the data is all right there – easily and directly accessible by management in real time.”
The MMC system offers a total failure of any type of upkeep currently finished as well as past due, with the days of the job. By collecting as well as providing the information proprietors as well as drivers can access information in actual time to produce an upkeep strategy that can forecast the demands of specific vessels as well as, with AIS, make use of fixing lawns neighborhood to the placement of the vessel.
“Machinery Maintenance Connect gives us improved transparency from vessel to office in following up on maintenance,” claims Karl Uno Holm, Ship Manager,Klaveness Ship Management “I can easily monitor jobs done and see postponements across the fleet. I can also now do an audit on the vessels on a regular basis and the time we need for this is less than an hour.”
The MMC control panel is divided right into 2 components, a fleet summary which contains information of the proprietor’s whole fleet, as well as a vessel summary which information the upkeep jobs finished as well as any type of job that stays impressive on specific vessels in the fleet. Both give a summary of information throughout a number of systems consisting of filter performance, information high quality, work due days, finished as well as upcoming upkeep job, as well as an AIS map of vessel settings, which is likewise connected to weather information.
With MMC, proprietors have far better control over the upkeep programs of all their vessels, enabling them to prepare in advance for vessel downtime as well as supply their customers a lot more reputable solution. Every vessel is likewise checked similarly, providing a much more unbiased study as well as giving quickly benchmarking of their fleet’s upkeep. In enhancement, progressed analytics on equipment upkeep are offered on demand, as well as with all fleet as well as vessel information handy, clients can quickly give equipment upkeep information to 3rd parties.
Currently, DNV GL has greater than 300 vessels making use of the system, with over 100 studies carried out to day. As the solution establishes DNV GL is analyzing the prospective use the MMC method for various other study kinds. MMC is offered to all ship proprietors as well as drivers, whether the vessels are DNV GL classified or otherwise.
