One can agree that crew members are the most important "asset" of a vessel. Without the crew, the vessel would not be able to sail, be maintained, loaded or discharged. Like many industries, there is a demand for reduction in resources and crew members onboard vessels. We address this problem by developing better ways to utilize the skills and resources we already have onboard.  Ulysses Systems and VesselMan are now working towards making a skill matrix where we are tracking and visualizing what skills our team already has within maintenance, dry-docking and technical projects. We see a massive potential in optimizing the team and fully use all resources when necessary. This feature will help crewing departments in shipping company/ship managements get a better way create awareness of the skills and experience of the crew. Ulysses Systems and VesselMan are experts in understanding maintenance. A big focus area is to ensure the maintenance schedules are adhered to, even if you don’t report the jobs in the sequence expected due to unscheduled events like breakdowns and repair periods like dry-docks. VesselMan is very excited about being part of this collaborative project with Ulysses Hellas S.A which is a project supported by a grant from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA Grants 2014-2021, in the frame of the programme “Business Innovation Greece”. The project “Crew management system to improve manning based on skills, experience and business requirements” addresses manning problems in relation to vessels technical performance. This project will complement the planned maintenance integrations with technical projects that are already established between Ulysses and VesselMan. Giving the shipping companies best possible utilization of optimized manning, ship repair and maintenance and performance for the voyages. VesselMan is always looking for ways to integrate or partner with other systems in the industry to help our users utilize their day- to day work better. Integration is the key forward to everything involved in digitalization in the maritime industry. Want to learn more about VesselMan, please reach out to us at info@vesselman.com.

 IMC Ship Management (IMC) as a fast-growing Singapore-based maritime company provides a diversified range of services in Maritime Asset Management and ancillary solutions. The group manages a fleet of vessels that include bulk carriers, oil/chemical tankers, containers, cable-layers, and multi-purpose vessels. In the effort to digitalize its work processes, IMC collaborated with VesselMan to conduct pilot projects on two of their technical projects. We were sourcing for a cloud-based solution that enables technical data to be consolidated as a move to improve our readiness in expanding the business. With VesselMan, our projects can be carried out in a systematic way and data being shared in a digital ecosystem. Most importantly, technical data can be shared among all users through boundary-less collaboration to enhance the projects’ efficiency and cost control. VesselMan provides a platform with easy usability for users from different backgrounds to input and share information when it comes to technical projects, which usually involves as much as 70% of a vessel’s maintenance cost. With users being guided through the standardized processes, the time spent on building specs, comparing quotes, and tracking jobs can be kept at minimal. Our office in Singapore covers the APAC time zone to train and support users in the region. The team is confident that we will be able to furnish IMC a solution that does not only significantly reduce the cost and time spent on technical projects, but also raise the awareness on the importance of technical data management. anchor: BoludaTowage
Boluda Towage is a renowned family- owned company and a global leader in maritime services, as well as a front runner in reducing emission. The group can be found in 100 ports across the globe, operating a fleet of around 400 vessels. We are very excited to be working with Boluda Towage. The team has a forward leaning attitude and a solution oriented mindset. We are impressed by their ability to see opportunities when it comes to what VesselMan is today and how we can develop. We look forward to working with them to improve today's work processes, get better control across the fleet and to amplify their internal project management. "We have been looking for a platform that would handle project management for quite some time. What we really like about VesselMan so far is that the platform is much more than just project management. Being able to roll out internal company procedures / guides for different project types helps our resources to collaborate and visualize tasks and activities that are planned for. It has increased our efficiency, by among other things, introducing a very useful app. We are positive about VesselMan and look forward to using the platform on our upcoming projects."  anchor: RoswellTankers
Roswell Tankers provides world-class ship management services and has over 40 years of experience. It is a pleasure to announce that Roswell Tankers will use VesselMan to conduct their next docking in Greece this October.  We are proud to announce that Roswell Tankers has agreed to run their next dry docking happening this October in VesselMan. We are running a few projects in Greece these days and it is an interesting market and fleet to work with. We look forward to seeing what the future brings in Greece and to further explore the experienced Greek shipping environment. Roswell Tankers has a forward leaning attitude and an engaged team – so I believe this will be a good collaboration! Exmar Shipmanagement has over a period tested out VesselMan and are pleased about what the platform delivers. One of the main elements was also a seamless integration with Task Assistant - Planned Maintenance Systems delivered by Ulysses Systems. The framework for the integration has been developed and funded by Innovation Norway Greece. The framework enables VesselMan to connect to relevant systems for the technical department.  We have been working for some time with VesselMan for evaluation purposes. A good relationship was established throughout the process with constructive feedback and support sessions. The methodology of project management and ability to integrate and visualize our workflows for different project types has been perceived positively. The system will, using modern technologies such as the mobile application, increase the efficient collaboration and transparency between stakeholders. This way the solution meets our requirements in our continuous aim to work smarter in our digital environment. Lene Normann Olsen, VesselMan's CCO says that working with Exmar is educational, inspiring and demanding - which is exactly what we are looking for in a partnership!
"The technical team at Exmar is forward leaning and has a good understanding of how efficient and smart projects should be run. They also allow us to challenge their way of thinking which is unique for the industry. It is truly inspiring working with people like Arne and his team!" We are thrilled to announce that Remøy Shipping has signed a fleet agreement with VesselMan.  VesselMan has provided us with a state-of-the-art tool for project planning, cost control and analysis. We have been using VesselMan for some time now and are very impressed with the possibilities offered by the solution. The insights we get from VesselMan will form an important basis for our negotiations with shipyards and suppliers. Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Express has decided to roll out VesselMan for all dockings and technical projects. Hurtigruten has been sailing in the Norwegian coast for 130 years, and has a forward leaning attitude on how to run smarter projects and how they can work more digitally when it comes to planning and executing technical projects. The onboarding project Hurtigruten completed earlier this year was a success and the result had a positive outcome; "with great focus from the user and with VesselMan as our management platform we managed to complete the dry-docking on budget".  We are pleased to announce that Hurtigruten Norway will use VesselMan on two upcoming projects. The project on MS Richard With is part of Hurtigruten Norway’s green upgrades program, one of Europe's biggest environmental upgrades that will cut CO2 emissions by 25 per cent and NOx emissions by as much as 80 per cent. The second project is a Main Class Renewal with installation of exhaust cleaning system Selective Catalytic Converter (SCR) on MS Nordnorge.  For VesselMan, this is a great opportunity to work with like minded people that have the same environmental goals, as well to enable efficient process steps throughout the project and transparency across the fleet. We will convert their existing processes and routines into a digital format and we will create an environment where they will have a good overview of all upcoming projects with focus on cost control and quality on their technical specifications. Our ambition is to show value creation to the management, as well as their superintendents and site managers working with the projects. The project "Smart Maintenance" main goal is to develop a digital service process and workflow that streamlines the interaction process between Corvus Energy as a supplier of battery packs and the ferry company Fjord 1. The process is prepared by VesselMan and the project is supported by Innovation Norway.  There will be implemented a solution for digital collaboration related to service assignments and project deliveries. This includes both planned "activities" / "maintenance activities" which will result in a more data-driven flow with recommendations from Corvus Energy's monitoring systems.
