Why integrated ship operation manuals?

Individual vendor manuals cannot meet IGC and IGF Code requirements on their own. An integrated, ship-specific operation manual brings every system together — and enables safe operation and rapid crew familiarisation.

BACKGROUNDNew fuels (LNG, LPG, methanol, ammonia), new systems and tighter IMO and class rules.

CHALLENGESComplex systems, multinational crews and frequent rotation make knowledge hard to retain.

VMT DELIVERSShip-specific manuals, faster familiarisation, and safer, more reliable operation.
