PMS, maintenance, off-hire, downtime, and drydock
vessel off-hire
Vessel off-hire is a period when a vessel is not earning under a charter or cannot meet required service because of technical, operational, or contractual issues.
Maritime ERP Wiki
Canonical glossary entries for maritime ERP, ship-management operations, fleet workflows, and AI-ready operational data.
Maritime ERP category and architecture
maintenance-to-procurement workflow
A maintenance-to-procurement workflow links planned maintenance jobs, defects, equipment, spare parts, inventory, requisitions, RFQs, purchase orders, and delivery tracking to reduce delay and off-hire risk.
Maritime ERP category and architecture
crew-to-payroll workflow
A crew-to-payroll workflow connects seafarer profiles, contracts, rotations, wage scales, overtime, allotments, deductions, portage bills, bank payments and accounting entries in maritime ERP.
PMS, maintenance, off-hire, downtime, and drydock
drydock specification
A drydock specification is the structured list of work items, technical requirements, inspections, repairs, materials and deliverables for a vessel drydock project that guides yard quotations, procurement planning, budget control, execution tracking and final acceptance.
PMS, maintenance, off-hire, downtime, and drydock
drydock work scope
A drydock work scope defines the maintenance, repair, inspection, class, coating, equipment and project tasks to be completed during drydock, connecting PMS history, defects, class conditions, spares, budget and yard quotations.
Maritime ERP category and architecture
fleet KPI dashboards
Fleet KPI dashboards summarize operational, technical, financial, procurement, crew, QHSE and performance indicators across vessels using consistent data definitions and timely ship-shore updates.
legacy replacement, implementation, and data migration
fragmented maritime system consolidation
Fragmented maritime system consolidation is the process of reducing disconnected ship-management tools and spreadsheets into a more integrated Maritime ERP architecture, focusing on duplicated records, manual handoffs, weak reporting, integration debt, and workflow gaps across vessel and shore teams.
Maritime ERP category and architecture
fleet management software for ship owners
Fleet management software for ship owners supports vessel operations, performance, maintenance, procurement, crew, QHSE and cost visibility across an owned or managed fleet.
Maritime ERP category and architecture
integrated ship-management software
Integrated ship-management software connects the major workflows used to manage vessels, fleets, shore teams, crews, suppliers, inspections and financial controls.
finance accounting and OPEX control
maintenance cost allocation for vessels
Maintenance cost allocation for vessels assigns maintenance-related expenses to the correct vessel, equipment, work order, budget or cost category.
procurement, spares, inventory, stockouts, and logistics
marine PO approval workflow
A PO approval workflow routes marine purchase orders to authorized reviewers before issue or payment, with approval logic that may depend on vessel, budget, amount, item criticality, department, supplier status, urgency, and financial controls.
procurement, spares, inventory, stockouts, and logistics
marine spare parts stockout
A stockout occurs when a needed spare part, consumable or store item is unavailable when required and in ship management it can delay maintenance, increase urgent freight, disrupt schedules and raise off-hire risk.
Maritime ERP category and architecture
Maritime ERP vs point solutions
Maritime ERP vs point solutions compares unified ship-management ERP with separate tools for PMS, procurement, crew, payroll, QHSE, finance or reporting, focusing on data duplication and integration risk.
procurement, spares, inventory, stockouts, and logistics
maritime procure-to-pay workflow
A maritime procure-to-pay workflow connects the full purchasing cycle from vessel requisition to supplier payment, including approvals, RFQs, quotes, purchase orders, delivery tracking, goods receipt, invoice matching, budget coding, audit trails and finance integration.
legacy replacement, implementation, and data migration
maritime ERP implementation risk
Maritime ERP implementation risk is the set of threats that can derail a ship-management ERP project, including poor data quality, unclear scope, weak governance, vessel disruption, integration gaps, user resistance, cutover mistakes and unrealistic rollout timelines.
PMS, maintenance, off-hire, downtime, and drydock
overdue PMS task
An overdue PMS task is planned maintenance work that has passed its due date, running-hour threshold, or required completion window.
PMS, maintenance, off-hire, downtime, and drydock
planned maintenance system for ships
A planned maintenance system for ships is software used to plan, schedule, record and verify maintenance tasks for vessel machinery, equipment and safety-critical systems.
crewing, payroll, crew matrix, STCW, and rotations
seafarer travel and visa coordination
Seafarer travel and visa coordination manages the logistics required for crew to join or leave a vessel, including visas, flights, port timing, agents, immigration rules, ticket changes, cost tracking, and communication with crew and shore teams.
crewing, payroll, crew matrix, STCW, and rotations
ship crew change workflow
A ship crew change workflow manages the process of bringing seafarers onboard and signing others off, including port timing, travel, visas, medicals, certificates, joining documents, handover, payroll updates and vessel crew-list changes.
legacy replacement, implementation, and data migration
ship-management software modernization
Ship-management software modernization is the shift from outdated tools, spreadsheets, local databases or disconnected modules toward connected cloud Maritime ERP workflows, covering system architecture, user experience, ship-shore synchronization, data quality, reporting and workflow standardization.
PMS, maintenance, off-hire, downtime, and drydock
vessel defect management workflow
A vessel defect management workflow controls how defects are reported, reviewed, prioritized, assigned, repaired, verified and closed, connecting maintenance, spare parts, procurement, QHSE, class conditions and reliability reporting.
Maritime ERP category and architecture
ship-shore workflow
A ship-shore workflow is a shared process between onboard teams and shore departments, such as maintenance approvals, requisitions, inspections, crew updates, incident reports and finance postings.
PMS, maintenance, off-hire, downtime, and drydock
unplanned maintenance in shipping
Unplanned maintenance in shipping is maintenance work that occurs outside the planned schedule because of breakdowns, unexpected defects, failed inspections or urgent operational needs, creating cost, downtime and planning pressure for technical, procurement and finance teams.
PMS, maintenance, off-hire, downtime, and drydock
vessel downtime
Vessel downtime is a period when a ship cannot operate as intended because of technical failure, maintenance, repairs, inspection issues, crew constraints or other operational interruptions and in ship management it is closely linked to off-hire exposure, OPEX and reliability controls.
cloud/offline ship-shore workflows and AI-ready data
vessel master data governance
Vessel master data governance controls the structure, ownership, validation and maintenance of core vessel records used across maritime workflows.
