Teaming up for a lean and modern solution

Responding to these challenges, VesselMan recently teamed up with classification society DNV GL to integrate DNV GL’s Best Practices for dry-docking into their cloud-based system. 

“By combining DNV GL’s broad knowledge and experience with dry-docking processes and VesselMan’s cloud-based management system, we are offering a more professionalized and modern approach to dry-dock management making ship-owners and operators better equipped to plan and execute their dry-dockings in future,” says Bjørn Berger, Head of Department, Maritime Advisory, DNV GL. 

DNV GL Best Practices

Building on many years of delivering advisory services to docking projects across every ship segment, DNV GL has built up a dry-docking standard suitable for any ship type and ship operator. The Best Practices are incorporated in VesselMan’s system as templates with easy to follow checklists for every step of the dry-docking process.

With a digitalized solution, such as the one offered by VesselMan, DNV GL’s standard is now accessible at any time to customers throughout the world.

“We are very proud of this partnership. VesselMan provides a full overview of the entire fleet and enables an effective and transparent collaboration between management, customers, yards, suppliers and site-team during the dry-docking process. Having DNV GL Best Practices available “out of the box” on our platform, clients will have a robust and unique tool that can easily be adapted into modern digital management operations – and as such, with great potential for cost reductions,” says Glenn Edvardsen, CEO of VesselMan.
