Cosmetic and technical standards, short intervention windows, fast crew turnover, REG Yacht Code and ISM: yachting stacks the constraints. This guide explains how to structure superyacht maintenance with a CMMS — equipment hierarchy, job procedures, spares, certificates, budget — and includes a typical season maintenance plan by system.

The paper engine log eats time and invites errors, exactly when an inspector asks for a figure. See how Smart Sailors, a marine CMMS built for the sector, turns the engine room logbook into a digital tool that cuts the administrative load on duty engineers and guarantees data integrity for Port State Control audits.

Under French regulations the logbook is mandatory beyond 6 nautical miles from shelter, under article 240-2.05 of Division 240. This guide sets out what it must contain, how often to fill it in, how to choose between a paper book, an app and a printable template, and why it remains your best protection after damage or in a dispute with your insurer. With a genuinely completed extract from a crossing.

Discover how to digitalise maintenance across your fishing, cargo or offshore fleet in 4 strategic steps. From asset mapping to KPI-driven optimisation, this guide takes you towards management that is modern, cost-effective and compliant with maritime regulations.

Discover how to optimise spare parts management for vessels on long voyages. Smart Sailors, a marine CMMS, turns your onboard stock into an intelligent remote warehouse with multi-location tracking, automatic alerts and streamlined purchasing from the ship.

ISM stands for International Safety Management. This complete guide covers the Code end to end: its definition, its origin, the ships it applies to, the Safety Management System, the Designated Person Ashore, the difference between DOC and SMC, and how to handle chapters 9, 10 and 11 — the ones behind most audit findings.
