An integrated planned maintenance system (PMS) built around real fleet operations


Technical management is not just about completing tasks. It’s about maintaining control across vessels, engineers, budgets, and survey schedules - often with limited visibility and constant pressure.


Shipnet Technical is a maritime-native technical management and planned maintenance system (PMS) designed to give superintendents full oversight of fleet condition, defects, surveys, and associated costs - within one integrated ERP platform.

Maintaining Fleet Reliability Requires More Than a Standalone PMS

A vessel does not fail because a task was missed in isolation.

Reliability depends on more than scheduling maintenance. It requires consistent onboard routines, accurate defect reporting, timely approvals, available spare parts, and clear visibility of cost and operational risk.


When these processes sit in disconnected systems, small gaps can quickly become delays, unplanned downtime, or compliance issues. Shipnet connects maintenance with procurement, inventory, finance, and shore-side oversight, giving teams the context they need to act before problems affect vessel availability.

Technical superintendents face daily challenges:

Limited real-time visibility across vessels

Delays in defect reporting and escalation

Time-consuming preparation of defect logs and survey documentation

Work order approvals slowed

by fragmented systems

Maintenance costs tracked separately from operational context

When technical data sits outside finance and procurement systems, teams spend time reconciling information rather than improving reliability.


As part of the Shipnet Platform, Shipnet Technical was built to remove that friction.

Supporting Every Aspect of Technical Operations

Shipnet Technical provides a connected environment for managing planned maintenance, defect resolution, survey readiness, equipment performance and technical costs across the fleet.

  • Planned Maintenance and Work Order Control

    Shipnet Technical provides structured control over maintenance routines and work orders across the fleet.


    Superintendents gain:


    • Clear visibility of daily, weekly and long-term maintenance schedules
    • Controlled approval workflows for work orders
    • Central oversight of routine completion
    • Traceable records of actions taken on board

    Routine discipline becomes easier to maintain when information flows consistently between ship and shore.


  • Defect Tracking from Report to Resolution

    Defect management is often where time is lost.


    With Shipnet Technical, defects are tracked from initial onboard report through to review, approval and completion - with associated costs recorded as part of the same system.


    This reduces time spent preparing manual defect logs and improves transparency across departments.


    Superintendents can see:


    • Open defects by vessel
    • Progress toward resolution
    • Associated costs at equipment level
    • Historical performance trends

    Issues are not just logged - they are managed in context.


  • Survey and Class Readiness

    Survey preparation is often the greatest source of pressure within technical teams.


    Shipnet Technical supports structured survey planning and execution, including configuration through ShipInspect for mobile inspection workflows.


    Maintenance history, defect records and supporting documentation are accessible within the same system, reducing last-minute preparation and improving audit readiness.


    The system is approved by major class societies, including Class NK and DNV.


  • Cost Visibility at Equipment Level

    Unlike standalone PMS tools, Shipnet Technical operates within an integrated ERP environment. Technical data sits within the wider Shipnet environment, meaning organisations can analyse maintenance activity, equipment performance and lifecycle costs across the fleet.


    Work orders and maintenance activities are linked directly to financial data, enabling:


    • Visibility of maintenance spend by vessel or equipment
    • Drill-down analysis of recurring events
    • Alignment between technical planning and budget oversight

    Technical decisions are supported by financial context, not separate spreadsheet.


  • Integrated Within Shipnet ONE

    Shipnet Technical is not a separate module layered onto other systems. It operates within Shipnet ONE - connecting technical workflows with:


    • Financial management
    • Procurement and spare parts control
    • Analytics and performance reporting
    • Dry docking planning

    This integration reduces reconciliation effort and provides a shared operational view across the organisation.


    Technical management becomes part of a connected system rather than an isolated discipline.

What is a maritime planned maintenance system (PMS)?

A maritime planned maintenance system helps shipowners and operators schedule, manage and record maintenance activity across vessels. It provides a structured way to control work orders, equipment maintenance, defects, inspections and survey-related activity across the fleet.

What does Shipnet Technical help manage?

Shipnet Technical supports planned maintenance, work orders, defect management, equipment records, survey readiness and technical cost control. It gives ship and shore teams a shared view of maintenance activity and vessel condition.

Can Shipnet Technical replace a standalone PMS?

Yes. Shipnet Technical provides full planned maintenance functionality while connecting maintenance activity with procurement, finance and wider operational workflows across Shipnet ONE.

How does Shipnet Technical help manage vessel defects?

Defects can be recorded, tracked and managed from initial report through to resolution. This gives technical teams clearer visibility of outstanding issues, actions taken and the status of work across individual vessels and the wider fleet.

Does Shipnet Technical support survey and class requirements?

Yes. Shipnet Technical supports survey planning, maintenance records and documentation used to help teams prepare for class and regulatory requirements. The system is approved by major classification societies including DNV and ClassNK.

How does Shipnet Technical connect maintenance with costs?

Because Shipnet Technical is part of Shipnet ONE, maintenance activity can be linked with procurement and financial information. This gives teams greater visibility of the cost associated with equipment, work orders, spare parts and technical activity.

Who is Shipnet Technical designed for?

Shipnet Technical is designed for shipowners, operators and ship management companies managing technical operations across multiple vessels. It supports technical superintendents, fleet managers, chief engineers and finance teams working across ship and shore.
