V.Ships piloting WAVE

WEB ADDRESSS

Shipmangement company V.Ships is trialling Wave, the equipment optimisation software developed by Resurgence Software.

The software tool records and analyses the performance of different equipment onboard the ship. This enables to shipping company to work out which equipment proves the most reliable over a period of time and adjust future purchasing decisions accordingly. 

Under the trial, V.Ships will use the software on a portion of its technically managed vessels, and also integrate the software with its existing proprietary planned maintenance software, ShipSure Maintainer.

The Wave software is endorsed by UK class society Lloyds Register, which markets the software in the United Kingdom.

Arild Farbrot, divisional technical director of V.Ships, says: "V.Ships is always looking for ways to make fleet management more efficient." 

"We hope to prove with this pilot that Wave's unique focus on benchmarking and criticality analysis will allow us to operate vessels more reliably and efficiently and at lower cost."

"Wave offers owners and operators enormous potential benefits," says Jacqui Knight, product manager for Wave at Lloyd's Register.

"It can help to impact positively a substantial portion of operating costs, in particular working towards optimising maintenance strategies.
