Planned maintenance system
A planned maintenance system your engineers will actually keep current.
Equipment register, running-hours and calendar jobs, spares, critical-equipment testing and audit-ready evidence — working at full function with no connectivity at sea. From €79 per month, with a 30-day free trial.
- ISM-aligned records
- Works offline at sea
- Import your existing PMS
What a marine PMS has to cover.
A planned maintenance system fails for one of two reasons: it is too heavy for the crew to keep current, or it cannot prove what was done when a surveyor asks. Full Ahead is built against both.
Equipment register & hierarchy
Ship, system, machinery and component levels with makers, serials, drawings and manuals attached where the engineer needs them.
Calendar, running-hours & condition triggers
Several triggers per item, whichever falls first raises the job — with counters that survive overhauls and component swaps.
Critical equipment under ISM
Critical items flagged with their own test regime, alerting and deferral controls, so a missed test is visible before an audit finds it.
Jobs, defects & deferrals
Work orders with sign-off, and open defects carried as tracked items with risk assessment, mitigation and due date.
Audit-ready evidence library
Photos, readings and signatures attached to the job itself, so a survey pack is exported rather than reconstructed.
Full function offline at sea
The whole register and job list works with no connectivity, syncing in order the moment a link returns.
From spreadsheet to class-ready in four steps.
1. Build the register
Import or enter equipment down to component level, with criticality set per item. Most vessels are populated in an afternoon from an existing spreadsheet.
2. Set the intervals
Attach maker intervals, running-hours limits and condition thresholds. Jobs generate forward automatically, so the plan for the next twelve months is visible from day one.
3. Work it from the vessel
Engineers see today's jobs on the ship app, close them with readings and photos, and log defects — with or without connectivity.
4. Prove it ashore
The office sees overdue and deferred work per vessel in real time, and exports the survey pack when class, flag or a charterer asks.
Where the PMS sits in the wider system.
The maintenance plan is the centre of the vessel record, not an island. Full Ahead links it to the ISM, ISPS, SOLAS and MARPOL registers, to performance monitoring so a fuel deviation can raise a job, to predictive maintenance for critical machinery, and to crew records so the person who signed off the work is traceable. The whole thing runs on one ship management platform.

Thirty-eight checks across the equipment register, intervals, critical equipment, deferrals and evidence — the points class, flag and port state control ask about most often, plus a five-step audit rehearsal. One vessel, one hour, one honest pass.
