Remote monitoring to protect you from existing risks
Advanced analytics for freedom from future risks
Maritime trade is a high-stakes business where shipowners, operators, charterers shoulder crucial responsibilities. Smart Ship© Hub (SSH) understands the complexities of the marine environment and the variety of problems they have to deal with. On board equipment and machinery are more prone to breakdowns, malfunctions, and unexpected repairs. Vessels are under constant motion rendering its equipment to have continuous wear and tear. A break down ( or in other words Downtime) takes top dollar to ensure the vessel is once again seaworthy . Time elapsed between the downtime and it being back in operational condition is directly related to premium paid for maintenance .
Mechanical or structural flaws can cause serious mishaps and have often resulted in casualties during routine ship operations. Machinery failure accounted for one in three reported shipping casualties or incidents globally, as per the Allianz Safety and Shipping Review 2022. Statistics do not lie!
Marine power systems failure or vessel engine damage can not only put all assets, cargo, the crew on board the vessel in danger but also poses a threat to marine ecology. And if the vessel is a chemical tanker , crude oil carrier or dry bulk that is combustible: the risks and accountabilities are significant. Vessel damage or vessel downtime translates to significant financial losses in business. There's constant pressure to prevent incidents at sea and reduce vessel downtime, along with the challenge of seeing maintenance costs remain in check.
Smart Ship ©Hub (SSH) endeavors to help alleviate the problems and manage the risks that maritime trade ship owners and operators face. With our digital platform in play, vessels are highly reliable and the reliability ranges between 20% to 33% , one in three downtime scenarios have are being constantly successfully predicted and averted.
Planned maintenance is essential for reducing the frequency of equipment or machinery failures and avoiding breakdowns that may lead to disruptions in vessel operations. However, continuing to sail within the comfort zone—relying solely on traditional ship maintenance methods—will leave ship owners and operators vulnerable to unexpected breakdowns and costly downtime.
It thus becomes "mission-critical" to get Smart and explore a newer, more economical, and effective maintenance approach.
