FLEET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

MARAD

Marad is a user-friendly, affordable, and therefore widely accepted software appli-cation for Fleet Management. Whether it concerns Maintenance, Inventory, Purcha-se, Certificate- and Document manage-ment, Crewing- or Safety matters, Marad provides for it.

Marad is type approved by DNV-GL, an in-ternational accredited registrar and clas-sification society headquartered in Høvik, Norway. The company currently has about 14,500 employees and 350 offices opera-ting in more than 100 countries, and pro-vides services for several industries inclu-ding maritime, renewable energy, oil & gas, electrification, food & beverage and health-care. It was created in 2013 as a result of a merger between two leading organizations in the field - Det Norske Veritas (Norway) and Germanischer Lloyd (Germany).

FLEET MANAGEMENT

Marad has several powerful tools available to manage fleets of vessels.

• FleetView functions (fleet-wide overview per module, TMSA/OVMSA reports, etc.).

• Central (generic) management of items in Maintenance, Inventory, Certificates, Safety and QHSE Checklists (changes to items are distributed to all linked vessels).

WHY MARAD?

Option 2 - Vessel regularly offlineIn office the Marad 5 Office version is installed, and on board of the vessel the Marad Vessel version. On board, Marad has his own database, and a constant internet connection is not needed. Synchronisation of the data with the Central database will be done if internet is available.

Option 3 - Vessel network installationThis installation is the same as a regular offline installation, but has the possibility to add multiple computers to the Marad network. One computer serves as a server/master while the other computers connect with the onboard network database. The board database synchronizes with the online central database. This setup requires special files which MaraSoft can provide.

As a vessel owner, our core business is sailing. We used to do this the conventional way with excel sheets, the experience of our sailors and our common sense.To improve the efficiency of the jobs on board we started using Planned Maintenance for our engineers. To our opinion is this a tool to help the engineers with their maintenance schedules. Also important is the easy use for all personnel on board. There Marasoft really stands out, the simplicity of the program, the clear overview. For us as office back up for the vessels we experience the contact with Marasoft positive. We always have immediate feedback when we have questions or requests.We furthermore appreciate that our opinion about the outlay and improvement inputs are taken seriously. Our crew members are now familiar and are happy with Marad, also because there is direct contact from the vessel to the Marasoft office when necessary. The crew is requesting more use of the program such as the module purchasing and crew documents. Last but not least we receive positive feedback from Recognized Organizations during inspections or audits. When Marad is implemented, up to date and the crew can show the effectiveness inspections are smooth.

We have been working with the Marad maintenance program for around 3.5 years and we are very pleased with it. It is simple to operate and very easy to use. Marad makes it possible for us to perform maintenance and crew management as good and as carefully as possible, and in this way we prevent us from being overtaken by events and we keep control. If we en-counter problems at sea, then the support at Marad’s office is exceptionally good. The men there are well aware of what is going on and if we have a question or run into a problem, they immediately resolve that for us. The people at Marad are always open to new ideas and / or adjustments. I am very happy and pleased that we have the Marad program on board.

ABOUT MARASOFT

‘Can you write a little program to manage the maintenance of the fishing trawler I work on?’ With those words, friend Pieter van Urk enters the room, and with a sigh he sits down. As an engineer on a large fishing trawler, he constantly runs into the lack of overview in regards to maintenance of the many machines in the engine room. Gerrit de Wit, fascinated by the power of automation and programming in yacht building for years, looks up and says: ‘Good idea! When should it be ready?’It is 1999, the birth year of Marad. A time in which computers are slow, and screens bulky and heavy. Marad is installed with two of those black square

floppies. And it works! The users of the first hour are enthusiastic and bombard us with ideas and wishes. That is so contagious that we spend a large part of our free time on it, especially when we hear that users are very content, it always gives satisfac-tion and energy to further develop and improve Marad. More and more customers are starting to use Marad.

Now, twenty years later, ‘that little program’ is still evolving. Because the requirements to the ship-ping industry have become more demanding and extensive. A few examples are the strict safety re-

PAGE 23

quirements, CO2 emissions, privacy legislation, and the ever-present pressure to remain com-petitive. With eight people constantly program-ming and testing to implement these functions into Marad, the question ‘When should it be ready?’ is still heard very often.

Twenty years of listening to the practitioners on board, and to those who take care of everything at the office, have made Marad an extremely useful tool that is experienced as essential both on board and in the office. At the beginning, Marad was mainly focused on the ship itself.

Gradually more attention was paid to the fleet of which a ship is a part and to the wishes of the people in the office. As a result, Marad is not only used as a Ship Management System, but also as an efficient Fleet Management System.

Listening to the wishes of Marad users has be-come our second nature. We are pleased to hear that Marad works very well and, despite the many functions and possibilities, is experi-enced as being very user-friendly. As that satis-fied customer once put it: ‘You have written a nice little program.’
