Abstract
Ships are offshore transport or working platforms. We developed an internet-enabled fleet technical condition management system by making ship connected to shore-resided technical management center. Operational data are uploaded automatically to management center for data storage, condition monitoring, trending, analysis, statistics, trouble shooting, and make operation and maintenance decisions. For it possible to apply a single system to manage a whole fleet, several technical aspects should be standardized. Data is the most fundamental part including machinery operating parameters, alarms, failure modes, and some others. We individualize and code these data and make them standard across the whole fleet, on-board monitoring system capture operating parameters snapshot periodically and all alarms, code, package and upload them. The Fleet management center system is a WEB application; all functions of it are designed against data standard. When fully realized, most management functions can be automated, to improve reliability, availability and maintainability of the whole fleet.
