MVM journal Chapter 4.

Why do we need a software and for What???

Ariel & Yossi combined almost 30 years of sailing experience between them.

Commanding a vessel or a squadran/Flotilla always raised issues of control and management of multipul departments and various equipment. All of which needed knowlage to operate and maintain.

With out the know how and proper preventive maintenance, surviving at sea , for any vessel, is very difficult – to say the least.

Giving the right tools to your Captain , Chief engineer and crew , made all the difference in terms of vessel operation and maintenance . This in turn allows owners to keep their vessel in top condition at a controlled and efficient cost.

When investing so much in the initial outlay it is so important to keep the vessel in mint condition and in full running order.

That is why & what. A tool to allow us management, planning and control at all times- We called it MVMSYSTEM  , Marine Vessel Management System .

As vessels “tend”to sail and do not necesserly stay berthed in one location , this tool must be global and in saying so we must look towards the Web.

Yossi adds: “simplicity and user friendly must be a key feature as we experienced very good systems that could not be harnessed for the job due to their complexity.
