Leading global provider of LNG shipping services, Gaslog, has chosen Norway-based maritime technology business, Shipnet to automate its dry-docking process.

Delivering natural gas to help global efforts to a lower carbon future, Gaslog has an ambitious Asset Integrity Roadmap for shifting to operational excellence and enhanced competitiveness with the use of reliability-based engineering principles. To this end, all Dry Dockings are managed holistically and on a lifecycle basis with rigorous and detailed planning from early stages of the dry-dock cycle. This target required the sourcing of a partner that will be the enabler of GasLog to optimise its dry docking end-to-end management across its fleet through a high degree of standardisation and automation, with a full integration of its existing digital lifecycle maintenance platforms.

As part of hosting everything under one digital platform and automating the dry docking process, this includes lifecycle planning, specifications, tendering to execution, project management, project closing and company long-term DD statistics.

Lampros Nikolopoulos, Asset Integrity Manager at Gaslog said: “Shipnet demonstrated flexibility and an unprecedented attention to our requirements which, together with completely answering our needs, is also user-friendly and fun to use. The enhanced and powerful shipyard tenders comparison module, the detailed creation of Owner’s Repair Specifications from pre-existing templates, user friendly and fully configurable setup along with a continuous improvement approach from developers who constantly add new features prompted us to nominate Shipnet for this project. Furthermore, Shipnet has the capability to host all the dry-docking planning and execution activities (including follow up and reporting) in a single platform and provides its users with enhanced insights.

“Shipnet’s customer focus along with its continuous flow of updates has exceeded our expectations as well as being surprised by the system’s robustness which is fully configurable to any user requirements. We are confident we can considerably reduce our overall project turnover time which will allow us to focus on the technical details for execution and optimising the entire planning.”

Established in 1991 and headquartered in Oslo, Shipnet has a legacy of addressing industry challenges with its integrated vessel management software, trusted by over 150 businesses in 31 countries. Its expertise in integrated vessel management software allows businesses to see the bigger picture combining technical, commercial, financial and analytical operations together.

James Taylor, Sales Executive at Shipnet: “Myself and everyone at Shipnet are incredibly honoured to partner with Gaslog, a company renowned for its exceptional operational standards and commitment to sustainable practices. This partnership underscores Shipnet’s dedication to providing cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of the maritime industry. By combining our expertise with Gaslog we will enhance operational efficiencies and drive digital transformation surrounding dry dock management.”
