Prime Tanker Management has introduced ShipIn's FleetVision platform across its managed fleet, utilizing collected operational data to enhance safety oversight and meet audit requirements imposed by major oil companies. FleetVision complements existing audit and inspection procedures, safety meetings, incident reporting, and ship visits. The platform provides continuous monitoring of daily activities on board, supporting informed decision-making by ship captains and crew.
FleetVision gathers video footage, ship system data, and operational information related to bridge, deck, and technical activities, as well as safety procedures. The system identifies recurring issues, such as personal protective equipment deficiencies, personnel in unsafe locations, and neglected watch practices. Prime Tanker Management has seen significant improvements, including a 76% decrease in PPE-related non-compliance, 51% reduction in bridge operation non-compliance, and 69% decline in technical non-compliance.
The implementation of FleetVision has led to a 3.4-fold increase in engagement with safety procedures, measured through drills, pre-work meetings, and shift briefings. Prime Tanker Management's FleetVision rating rose from 82 to 94, reflecting a stronger commitment to operational standards. Marinos Seriegos, Prime's Executive Vice President of Operations and Designated Person Ashore, stated that FleetVision provides clearer visibility into daily safety procedures and supports captains in directly engaging with crew.
FleetVision's data will enable Prime's shore-based teams to identify differences between ships and assess the effectiveness of corrective actions. This information will be used during Tanker Management Self-Assessment reviews and discussions with major oil companies. The platform allows for real-time monitoring and data-driven decision-making, enhancing the company's safety management system.
ShipIn Systems' CEO and Co-Founder, Ocher Perry, emphasized that FleetVision enables institutions to promote and consistently apply standards when leaders and shore-based teams have access to comprehensive insights. ShipIn has positioned FleetVision as a tool to ensure operational efficiency continuity, rather than replacing existing safety management systems.
Prime Tanker Management's adoption of FleetVision demonstrates its commitment to enhancing safety standards and meeting the requirements of major oil companies. The platform's analytics have linked lower FleetVision scores to higher incident rates, based on company-specific data. This integration of FleetVision into Prime's operations is expected to drive continuous improvement in safety performance.
The partnership between Prime Tanker Management and ShipIn Systems highlights the growing importance of digital solutions in maritime safety management. By leveraging FleetVision's capabilities, Prime aims to maintain a strong safety culture across its fleet, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and industry best practices.
