Hamdok is a shipbuilding company with graving dry dock facility for vessels up to 3,000 DWT, located in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Hamdok has over five decades of maritime experiences with extensive portfolios in building and maintenance of various vessels for numerous purposes. Our company utilizes dry docking facilities at various locations to cater to all dry docking/repair/maintenance requests of all ships and floating structures. To move our business towards digitalization, we have chosen VesselMan which provides a cloud-based Solution as a Service (Solaas) to improve our projects’ planning and productivity. Even though we are operating shipyards, we believe that the solution will enable us to have in-depth understanding of our work processes and a proper data management for future improvements.
Rio Haminoto, President Director at Hamdok

“It’s very gratifying that Hamdok turned to us for a futuristic, world-class SaaS for digitization of technical projects such as newbuilding, dry-docking, ship repair, and turnkey projects. We are very excited about this collaboration and look forward to look into new ways to help yards amplify their project managements through our Singapore Office,” adds Glenn Edvardsen, CEO at VesselMan.
“Indonesia is one of the major players in the region for the world’s shipping industry and this contract represents a holistic approach, which we expect to see more in future.”

We are happy to announce that EXMAR have signed a pilot project agreement with VesselMan for two of their upcoming dry-dockings. Over the years EXMAR Group has evolved from a traditional shipping company into an innovation driven gas energy provider. EXMAR’s mission is to serve customers with innovations in the field of offshore extraction, transformation, production, storage, and transportation by sea of liquefied natural gases, petrochemical gases, and liquid hydrocarbons.

Arne Lippens, Corporate Technical Manager at EXMAR Ship Management, says they are excited about the pilot projects.

We have been in dialogue with VesselMan for a while now, as we are on a quest to level up our dry dock process, amongst others to increase the process insights and efficiency for all stakeholders and enhance follow-up with mobile applications. We have been cross checking solutions and VesselMan covers about all our areas of attention – and we also see a lot of potential in their future roadmap, so we are excited to kick-off. And not to mention, the integration with our Planned Maintenance System is of course a huge advantage for us!
- Arne Lippens, Corporate Technical Manager at Exmar

More than 400 Dry-Dockings have been completed in VesselMan so far, with over 200 new vessels signed in the first half of 2021 alone - and more in the pipeline.

“The gas segment’s largest international ship owners are currently securing the benefits of VesselMan, which is perhaps the most advanced, tailor-made dry-docking and technical management processes system in the world. It has already proved to be well suited to the tank and gas sector, and more shipowners are lining up to get involved.” comments Glenn Edvardsen, CEO at VesselMan.

We have been using Ulysses Systems as our PMS for more than 15 years, and this will enable a smooth and seamless integration between our PMS and VesselMan as our dry-docking tool.”

We are very glad to announce that we are expanding the team in Norway. Marie Lothe started in VesselMan April 12th as our new Customer Success Manager.

Marie has background from Avance Gas and TechnipFMC, and will benefit the team with her operational experience and fresh bright eyes. She will have an important role when it comes to improve how our existing clients are using VesselMan today, as well as amplifying how ship owners and ship managements work more efficient and get better control when it comes to time demanding tasks, time spent on project management and of course, cost control.

Besides being a smart, "techy" naval architect, she likes to sail, ski and hike in the beautiful mountains of Norway - so we can say she is a typical Norwegian.

We are very happy that Marie decided to join the VesselMan family. Her previous experience and skill set will play a key role in further enhancing our service offering. I am very excited to see our team growing and that we are in a position to acquire young and talented people like Marie.

VesselMan has signed an agreement to provide a project management software to United Marine Egypt (UME).

Based on the functionality we have seen so far in VesselMan, we truly believe we are moving in the right direction by standardizing our internal processes as well as focusing on working more efficiently with our technical projects.

Mohammed Badr

VesselMan CEO, Glenn Edvardsen, said "This is the best thing about what we do. So much of the talk around shipping innovation is focused on a few small geographies - but shipping is a global business and companies all over the work are looking for the same cost-effective ways of increasing margins though efficiency and productivity. UME is our kind of partner, they are a highly proactive and dynamic company."
