Fleet Equipment Registry

The registry is the office-side master catalogue of equipment in E-PMS. Each equipment type is authored once, with its structure, spare catalogue and maintenance jobs, and a vessel gets that equipment by having the type installed. Because jobs and spares live on the master, an edit made here applies fleet-wide to every vessel carrying the type.

Types, Models and Groups

Equipment is organised under SFI system headers. A generic type defines the common jobs; its models are the concrete maker and model units vessels actually install, and they inherit the type's jobs unless told otherwise. Groups such as tanks are not installed themselves but can carry group jobs, such as enclosed-space entry, that cascade to everything nested under them.

Jobs with a Basis

Every maintenance job carries its interval (calendar or running hours), a maintenance basis (maker, class, statutory, company experience or condition), the responsible rank, whether approval is needed to start, flags for safety, class, shutdown and required risk assessment, a description, readings with limits, a bill of materials and manuals. Saving a new job rolls it out as work orders onto every vessel that has the equipment.

Manuals Where the Work Happens

Complete maker's manuals, drawings and datasheets attach to the equipment type; the pages a specific job needs attach to that job as extracts. Both sync to every vessel that installs the type and appear on the work order's manuals tab, so the procedure is at the workbench, not in a filing cabinet ashore.

Install, Migrate, Inherit

Install a type on any number of vessels in one action; each ticked vessel receives the equipment, its work orders and its stock rows. Install with last-known service dates so a migrated fleet lands with correct, even overdue, due dates. Fit out a new ship by inheriting a sister ship's whole equipment set, then rename or reposition units to match the vessel.

Change Control

Editing a strategy field on a critical job, such as its interval or basis, does not simply save. It raises a management-of-change draft holding the proposed change, so critical maintenance strategy is never altered silently. Crews on board can also propose registry changes, which the office reviews and answers, and the crew see the decision.
