Maersk Line has started the implementation of DNV GL’s ShipManager software, with pilot testing on five vessels. The installation of ShipManager on their self-owned fleet of 250 vessels is scheduled for next year.
Maersk Line, with headquarters in Copenhagen, Denmark, has 33,000 employees worldwide, including seafarers, and registers 35,000 port calls every year. DNV GL won the tender for the ship management software, initially competing with 26 other vendors. The container shipping company hopes to gain increased process efficiency and improved access to and analysis of information.
ShipManager will replace nine applications currently in use. Maersk Line will be using six integrated ShipManager modules: Technical, Procurement, Project, Crewing, QHSE and Analyzer. With ShipManager Analyzer, it is possible to extract data from all of the modules for analysis.
