How Can Marine Planned Maintenance Software Help Me with Regulatory Compliance?

Implementing a planned maintenance system for vessels can demonstrate a proactive approach to marine upkeep and make it easier to comply with UK regulations and classification society requirements.

The Merchant Shipping Act 1995 (MSA 1995):

This is the primary piece of UK legislation governing maritime safety, including vessel maintenance. The MSA 1995 places a duty on ship owners and operators to ensure the seaworthiness of their vessels, which includes maintaining them in good working order. Marine planned maintenance software helps by providing a structured approach to maintenance, ensuring all essential tasks are completed as required.

The Merchant Shipping (Safety of Navigation) Regulations 2017 (SOLAS):

SOLAS is an international treaty adopted by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). The UK has incorporated SOLAS into its national legislation. These regulations cover many safety requirements, including maintenance of navigational equipment, life-saving appliances, and fire protection systems. A vessel planned maintenance system can help by tracking maintenance schedules for these critical systems and ensuring they are always operational.

The Marine Environment Protection Regulations (MEPC) 2016:

The UK’s International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) aims to minimise ship pollution, including oil spills and waste discharge. A planned maintenance system can help by tracking maintenance for pollution prevention equipment, such as bilge water separators and sewage treatment plants.

Department for Transport (DfT) Marine Guidance Notices (MGNs):

The DfT publishes MGNs that provide detailed guidance on complying with maritime regulations. Some MGNs specifically address maintenance requirements for different equipment types onboard vessels. A marine planned maintenance system can help ensure maintenance practices align with the relevant MGNs.
