A Greek tanker operator is using onboard video and operational data to reduce deviations from safety procedures and improve crew compliance to using protection equipment across a managed fleet
Prime Tanker Management has seen significant reductions in deviations from its safety procedures and rules across its managed fleet after deploying a digital platform that uses real-time operational data and camera streams on vessels.
The Athens, Greece-headquartered ship operator and manager is gaining greater insights into daily safety issues and challenges on its oil product tankers with regular reports and safety information.
Since its implementation of this platform fleetwide, Prime has recorded a 76% reduction in deviations related to use of personal protection equipment (PPE) by its crews, a 69% reduction in technical deviations and a 51% reduction in bridge-related deviations, over a 60-day comparison period.
Safety engagement also increased 3.4 times, reflecting greater participation in activities including drills, toolbox talks, pre-shift meetings and debriefs, said Prime.
This digital tool brings together onboard video, vessel systems and operational data to provide crews and shore teams with continuous visibility into vessel operations.
Masters can review operational insights with their crews and use them during safety meetings, toolbox talks and routine follow-ups.
Prime Tanker Management adopted ShipIn’s FleetVision platform across its managed fleet to achieve these safety improvements.
It gives vessel leadership a clearer view of recurring patterns and additional evidence to reinforce established procedures during daily operations.
FleetVision deployment has led to measurable improvement across PPE, bridge, and technical operations while supporting Prime’s existing safety management framework, including audits, inspections, safety meetings, near-miss reporting and vessel visits.
“FleetVision gives us greater visibility into how our established safety procedures are being applied during everyday operations,” said Prime Tanker Management deputy chief operating officer, Marinos Syrigos.
“It gives the master another tool to engage directly with the crew, understand where attention is needed, and reinforce the same safety expectations across vessels,” he said.
“That helps us continuously improve and maintain a more consistent safety standard throughout the fleet.”
Prime has also used the information and objective evidence of how safety practices are applied on its tankers for discussions with oil company clients and for tanker management and self assessment (TMSA).
It is using FleetVision to strengthen fleet-wide assurance and TMSA readiness and the shipping group’s wider assurance framework.
