How can we reduce our maintenance costs?

Keeping the fleet at sea and trading is a constant challenge.

How can we reduce our maintenance costs while keeping the ship trading for as long as possible? Keeping the ship at sea is a constant challenge and we often hear this question from CEO's in the shipping industry.

Legislation, new directives like TMSA (Tanker Managemeent Self assessment) and rising fuel costs, all make it increasingly challenging to minimise your costs and maximise your profit.

The costs of owning and operating a ship are relatively fixed.  As a result any cost savings in any area impact directly on the bottom line. Conversely any cost increases have the opposite effect.

The task is left to fleet superintendents and technical directors who constantly juggle charters, maintenance periods and class requirements to keep their ships trading.

James Fisher Mimic have designed a suite of tools that can help reduce your maintenance costs, class society costs and fuel useage whilst maintaining best in class availability.

New ! Mimic Electronic Engine Log Sheets

The engine log sheet system isn't just a replacement for the traditional paper based engine logs it is much more.

Electronic Logsheets include Mimic's trademark Performance module, allowing not just the recording of key equipment data but the manipulation of this data to be displayed as Key Equipment Performance Information. Helping cheif engineers to prioritise their resources and understand their key risks at a glance.
New ! Mimic Condition Assessment

Mimic Condition Assessment System can be used for the collection, storage, display, analysis and management of all asset condition and maintenance program information.

MIMIC collects equipment condition data from control systems, alarm and monitoring systems, manual data entry via keyboard, hand held data collection devices and data logging systems. 

This data is translated into useable information and can be linked with your existing PMS to drive  maintenance tasks by condition not calendar. Class societies have recognised the potential of condition monitoring and ship owners are able to obtain a class notation, saving in both survey fees and unplanned maintenance costs.
Why Mimic?

All James Fisher Mimic's engineers and technicians come from a marine background, whether this be Naval, a commercial shipping organisation or from within the James Fisher group, our engineers know the challenges of running ships on a daily basis.

The marine products that we develop are tailored specifically for the shipping industry by marine engineers, with dirt under their nails not paper clips.

This puts James Fisher Mimic in a unique position to be able to understand the challenges that many shipowners face and to offer practical solutions to reduce the cost of maintenance.
