Certified Spare Parts & Logistics
Downtime costs escalate when a critical spare part is stuck in customs or, worse, arrives on board only to fail prematurely. Ship’s Solutions breaks this cycle with a cradle-to-cradle approach to spare-parts supply that starts with rigorous vendor qualification and ends with condition-based stocking plans aligned to each vessel’s maintenance regime. Our ISO-9001-certified logistics centre maintains a curated inventory of OEM and class-approved aftermarket components, segregated by environmental sensitivity and life-cycle criticality. Every part is scanned into a blockchain-backed ledger that records serial number, batch, and MTC, creating an immutable history that insurance underwriters and vetting inspectors trust implicitly.
When an owner sends a requisition, our AI-driven platform cross-references the request against vessel history, planned routes, and on-board stock, recommending the most cost-effective combination of immediate dispatch and forward-positioned supply. For urgent aviation shipments, we leverage 24/7 AOG desks and pre-cleared transhipment hubs in Dubai, Singapore, and Amsterdam, achieving average door-to-deck lead times under 36 hours for 87 percent of consignments. All packages are kitted in moisture-barrier bags with shock sensors, while temperature-sensitive items ride in active cool-chain containers that log data to the cloud for QA review upon delivery. Customs documentation, including EUR.1 and Form A certificates, is auto-generated from our ERP and attached as electronic data interchange, shaving precious hours off clearance.
Beyond Just Delivery
Our support does not end when the parcel crosses the gangway. We offer on-board commissioning assistance via AR-enabled smart glasses, letting our technicians guide ships’ staff through installation without the cost or delay of flying a service engineer halfway around the world. Each part’s performance is then logged through API integration with the vessel’s PMS; should failure rates deviate from baseline, the system triggers a root-cause analysis and, if warranted, a vendor-rating downgrade or recall action. Over time, this closed-loop feedback drives continual quality improvement and eradicates repeat failures.
The financial logic is compelling: by moving from ad-hoc purchasing to predictive stocking and data-verified supplier performance, our customers have recorded up to 22 percent reductions in total maintenance spend and a 40 percent improvement in mean time between failures. Ship’s Solutions makes spare-parts logistics a strategic advantage rather than a cost centre.
