Keep every vessel on schedule — planned jobs by calendar or running hours, work orders, spare parts and ISM-compliant documentation in one system that works online and offline.
A planned maintenance system (PMS) is software that schedules, tracks and documents all preventive maintenance on a vessel — triggered by calendar intervals or running hours — covering work orders, spare parts and the maintenance history needed for ISM compliance and audits.
Section 10 of the ISM Code requires shipping companies to establish procedures that keep the ship maintained in conformity with rules and company requirements — and to be able to prove it. In practice that means documented maintenance plans, completed jobs and traceable history. A PMS is the standard, auditable way to meet this — and the alternative (spreadsheets and whiteboards) is what Port State Control findings are made of.
Recurring maintenance triggered by calendar interval or equipment running hours — generated automatically so nothing is forgotten.
From planned job to closed work order with instructions, hours used and digital sign-off — on desktop and mobile.
Component hierarchy based on the maritime SFI structure, so maintenance plans follow the equipment actually installed on board.
Stock levels per vessel, parts linked to jobs, and warnings before you run out of critical spares.
Complete, searchable job history per component — the evidence base for audits, vetting and resale.
Alerts before maintenance-related certificates expire, keeping the vessel survey-ready at all times.
| Generic CMMS | Marine PMS (SeaVesselManager) |
|---|---|
| Calendar-based scheduling only | Calendar + running-hours triggers per component |
| Flat asset list | SFI-structured component hierarchy |
| Requires constant internet | Runs offline on board, syncs when connected |
| No maritime compliance | ISM-ready documentation and certificate alerts |
SeaVesselManager's PMS runs on a local database on board and synchronises with the office when connectivity allows — crews keep working through dead zones. Community Edition is free for up to 4 vessels, so you can replace spreadsheets with a real PMS without an enterprise contract.
Deploy in the cloud, on-premise or hybrid — your data stays under your control.
