SmartShip project has been reported in the Greek Media and Press as one of the achievements towards the European Digital Transformation of the Maritime Industry in terms of the Predictive Maintenance in vessels.
Specifically, the objective of predictive maintenance is to help determine the condition of vessel’s equipment in order to estimate when maintenance tasks should be performed. The aim is to reduce costs over routine or time-based maintenance. The idea is the prediction of equipment failures and degradations based on its current state and maintenance scheduling towards resource optimization, while is strongly linked to the circular economy concepts which enables the reusability and remanufacturing of vessel’s components thus promising tremendous cost savings.
