A PMS schedules, records and controls vessel maintenance by calendar interval, running hours, condition, class requirement or maker recommendation. It creates the maintenance history needed for reliability and inspection evidence.
A good job card should include equipment, interval, responsible rank, safety precautions, instructions, required spares, measurements, completion evidence and approval status.
It prevents missed maintenance, highlights overdue work, links defects to equipment history and helps superintendents identify repeated failures before they become major breakdowns.
Maintain the source record, responsible person, date, vessel, attachments, approval status, correction history and follow-up actions. The record should be easy to retrieve during audit, inspection or management review.
The responsible superintendent or department head should review exceptions, overdue items, high-risk findings and repeated issues. Finance, HSEQ, technical, marine or crewing teams should be included depending on the topic.
Routine items should be reviewed monthly, while overdue, high-risk or inspection-related items should be reviewed immediately. Fleet-level trends should be included in periodic management meetings.
Useful KPIs include overdue count, closure time, repeat findings, cost variance, missing evidence, vessel ranking, responsible-owner backlog and management approvals pending beyond target time.
