GNV boosts safety maintenance with new contract

Grandi Navi Veloci (GNV) has signed a contract with Telemar to provide safety maintenance services on its growing fleet.

GNV has awarded the company a contract to manage and maintain GMDSS and navigation safety installations on its newbuildings GNV Polaris, GNV Orion and GNV Virgo, constructed at CSSC shipyard Guangzhou.

The contracts will consolidate critical bridge navigation equipment service to a single provider, saving time and manpower and reducing the risk of non-compliance as scheduled service will be planned to agreed timeframes rather than carried out on an ad hoc basis.

Telemar specialises in smart maintenance and management of bridge electronics, providing pro-active remote and in-person support with the aim of reducing potential downtime and increasing vessel efficiency. Telemar can use the data collected to optimise asset lifecycles and deliver further efficiencies. This can be used to deliver more repairs remotely and increase first-time fixes for a more efficient service when its field engineers visit customer vessels.

“Telemar is grateful to GNV for the trust it has shown in the expertise of our people and our ability to manage these critical safety systems on their behalf,” said Telemar chief executive Mike Bauwens.
