Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore (BV M&O) has launched a new smart hub, “MOVE by Bureau Veritas.” at the SMM maritime conference in Hamburg, Germany. Currently available for shipowners, MOVE is designed to integrate various maritime digital applications, helping reduce operational complexity by enabling fast, informed decision-making on asset compliance and performance, according to the company's release.
MOVE offers shipowners a streamlined classification experience, allowing them to manage their fleet throughout their lifecycle, and analyse data from a single interface. This will enable users to manage their assets throughout early design, construction and operation.
MOVE is highly customizable and can be adapted to a client’s individual specifications, whilst also having the ability to continue to evolve with the asset, in light of more sophisticated digital tools and processes being introduced to the vessel in the future.
Through MOVE’s app drawer, users can access all of BV M&O’s classification, statutory and technical advisory applications, as well as partner solutions. The new platform builds on the offer of VeriSTAR Info with two new applications for shipowners:
● Fleet in Service: Developed in collaboration with shipowners, “Fleet in Service” provides a visual and intuitive real-time fleet compliance overview to enable fast and accurate situation assessments. “Fleet in Service” can also be used to take action specific to asset’s needs, such as requesting surveys and taking post-corrective steps.
● Connect your Systems: “Connect your Systems” facilitates the connection of client systems to accelerate the flow of high volumes of data between shipowners and BV M&O, saving time and improving efficiency.
BV M&O is continuously updating and improving MOVE, with new functionalities to be added over the coming months. MOVE is currently available to shipowners and Flag Authorities, and it will be progressively expanded to other profiles, including shipyards, designers, and equipment manufacturers. These users will also benefit from a tailored profile and selection of applications.
