Greece-based Arcadia Shipmanagement has selected American Bureau of Shipping’s (ABS) enterprise asset management (EAM) programme to further improve the reliability of its 15 tanker vessels.
The ABS Advanced Solutions AEM programme is developed to help vessel owners and operators to manage various physical assets from design to decommissioning in order to optimise use, reduce costs, as well as improve vessel reliability and efficiency.
The solution comprises a number of elements such as an asset lifecycle management strategy, computerised maintenance management system utilisation, inventory management, planning, scheduling, and process automation.
It also includes performance optimisation, as well as maintenance and reliability strategies.
Arcadia Shipmanagement CEO Dimitris Mattheou said: “We are confident in the ABS approach and look to validate our processes with a strategic focus to improve our tankers efficiency and reliability, leveraging their technical expertise and strong EAM experience.
“The outcome of this work will make a significant contribution to our current efforts to strengthen our asset management process.”
