The leading handymax owner selected the system after a rigorous selection process. The implementation of the ShipManager system in Pacific Basin will simplify and optimize their ship management, allowing extensive fleet-wide data collection, integration and analysis, thereby improving performance.

“DNV GL has instilled confidence during our selection process and we look forward to developing a long term partnership and friendship during the implementation process,” said fleet director Captain Jay Pillai.   

“With this strategic partnership, we are strengthening our technical and customer services capacity in the Asia-Pacific region. DNV GL’s value proposition is unique and we are positioned as a leading provider of fleet management software and services worldwide,” said Are Føllesdal Tjønn, md of DNV GL - Software. Pacific Basin will be using six integrated ShipManager modules: Technical, Procurement, Project, Crewing, QHSE and Analyzer. The modules will support Pacific Basin in generating dynamic OPEX (operational expenditure) reports and in monitoring KPIs.

“This is expected to reduce a lot of manual work and give our fleet managers all information in one place for management of data and trends. The system also allows the integration of data from previous solutions,” said Raghvendra Lavania, project manager of Pacific Basin.
