Why fleets still struggle

The cost of how it’s done today

When maintenance data lives onboard, the office plans blind, spares run out unnoticed, and job history is reconstructed from paper the day before a Class survey.

The traditional approach

Spreadsheet PMS or legacy tools that never reflect what the engine room actually did. Overdue jobs surface only when a surveyor asks, and migrating from paper floods the dashboard with false overdues.

Maintenance Management: fleet dashboard view

Monday with WaterTight

What changes when this is under control

A full planned maintenance system: equipment hierarchy, calendar and running-hours schedules, onboard execution prepared for offline, spare parts, defects, and governed fleet change proposals—synced ship to shore.

Time back

Jobs auto-schedule from intervals and running hours instead of being rebuilt in spreadsheets, and completions sync the moment a vessel reconnects.

Less waste

One system for jobs, parts, and defects removes duplicate tools and cuts the emergency spares and off-hire caused by surprises.

Lower risk

Overdue and due-soon jobs are visible fleet-wide before survey, with an audit-ready history per equipment item rather than a paper reconstruction.

Ship to shore

How the work moves

  1. Superintendent builds the equipment tree and schedules jobs
  2. Engineers execute jobs on mobile or dashboard, online or offline
  3. Completions and running hours sync to shore on reconnect
  4. Change proposals reviewed and applied fleet-wide

Regulatory alignment

✓ ISM Code Element 10✓ Class survey support

Customers remain responsible for regulatory compliance. WaterTight is the operational system of record.

Questions before you commit

Does PMS work offline on ships?
Yes. Crew prepare for offline and execute PMS jobs and checklists without connectivity; data syncs when the vessel reconnects.
Can we import our existing PMS data?
Yes. Excel import with column mapping is supported for equipment, jobs, and spares. Set last-done baselines on import so historical gaps are not treated as newly overdue.
Is WaterTight a certified PMS?
WaterTight supports ISM Element 10 maintenance workflows with audit-ready logs. It helps you demonstrate reliability; you remain responsible for meeting Class and flag requirements.
Can PMS run by running hours as well as calendar?
Yes. Jobs can be scheduled by calendar interval, running hours, or both, so machinery maintenance follows actual usage.

Bring this pain to a demo

We’ll walk maintenance management for Technical Superintendent and Chief Engineer on a sample vessel — so you can judge the fit, not sit through a feature tour.
