SBM Offshore, market leader in the supply of Floating Energy Production systems, tapped the expertise of FloatSys  for adopting the inventory of Hazardous Material (IHM) policies and practices applicable to vessels entering EU ports into its offshore FPSO operations. This is part of a broader sustainability initiative by SBM Offshore to ensure adherence to the International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships (the ‘Hong Kong Convention’) and applies the principles of the EU Ship Recycling Regulation 1257/2013 or equivalent.

The final stage of ship design is the development of detailed working plans. These plans are the installation and construction instructions to the ship fitters, welders, outfitters, metal workers, machinery vendors, pipefitters, etc. In detailed designing stage the space allocation for various main components will be arranged according to their necessities. The procedures for planning the construction, obtaining materials and driving fabrication and assembly of the ship in the yard are the starting phases of detailed design stage and will be an ongoing process until the vessel is ready to launch.

We are thrilled to announce that Kerala Shipping and Inland Navigation Corporation Ltd has entered into an agreement with Floatsys to develop a comprehensive Roadmap for Growth and Restructuring.

As the rest of the world, shipboard systems are also more and more computerized and integrated with shore side networks. These days ships are designed for paperless operation for both its information technology as well as operational technology systems. This exposes ships and companies to cyber security risks, which in some cases could be catastrophic.

On March 12, 2024, IRS and FloatSys entered into a Cooperation Agreement to explore joint business opportunities in the maritime and offshore industries.

As technology evolves present models become outdated in satisfying the needs of today’s expectations. For meeting with new regulations or to meet the modified mission requirements, retrofitting is often employed to upgrade existing assets to fulfill the changing requirements. 

In this challenging day and age, we at FloatSys wish to reassure you a propelling career with the best of courses available online. To ensure the quality and cost effectiveness of the training solutions provided, FloatSys is continuously developing and dissecting  various innovative training products. To achieve our desire,

We are committed to delivering state-of-the-art solutions with a view to improving the quality and safety in shipping, shipbuilding, ship-repairing and offshore floating system industries.

The first stage of the design process, where the foundation of any vessel is set, is the concept design. Concept design of a ship is a set of calculations for creating documentation that describes the necessary requirements for construction and ensures that the ship meets the needs of the client. With our wealth of engineering techniques, advanced analysis tools and experience of past vessel designs, we can efficiently generate a fresh starting point for your design or begin from a proven hull form.

eSIMS SM - Electronic Survey Information Management System is a software as service (SaaS) offering from FloatSys specially developed to manage survey and certification activities of classification societies and recognized organizations. Both MACOSNAR Corporation - a Panamanian Classification Society and Capital Register of Shipping (CRS Class) a US based classification society have subscribed to eSIMS SM.

The Ship energy efficiency Management Plan provides a practical approach for ship operators and management companies to manage operations and fleet efficiency performance over time using the Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI) as a monitoring tool. And it is implemented according to the ship type, cargo carried, ship routes, and other relevant factors.

In the vast expanse of the ocean, the maritime industry is setting sail towards a greener horizon. With a steadfast commitment to reducing carbon emissions, decarbonization efforts are at the forefront of maritime innovation. Here's how we're navigating this course towards sustainability:

IMO’s MEPC 76 adopted amendments to MARPOL Annex VI, as part of its short-term measures under the IMO GHG Reduction Strategy. In particular, short-term measures EEXI and CII will be in force starting from 1st January 2023.
