We recently updated our Aquila Project Quality System which helps shipowners manage the construction of their vessels, and the dialogue with the yard around modifications, improvements and defects.
This latest update enables shipowners to create a yard inspection that needs to occur across all vessels within a project as well as inspections specific to a single or small group of vessels. Inspections can be scheduled in advance if there is a known date or recorded retroactively. If a follow on inspection is required, Aquila allows owners to maintain sets of uploaded documents ordered by date so there is no need to re-create the inspection again. Inspections can be ‘passed’ by the assignee to the inspector but only a site-manager can actually ‘accept’ the inspection to ensure that all of the necessary documents and certificates have been collected prior to closing out the inspection.
