HelmOps Features
Yacht Maintenance Planning Software
HelmOps helps yachts plan preventive maintenance, defect follow-up, surveys, and safety equipment checks. The PMS can align with ISM Code expectations using engine-hour and calendar triggers.
ISM Code aligned planned maintenance
A planned maintenance system should prove that critical equipment is inspected, serviced, and corrected on time. HelmOps organizes recurring jobs by vessel, system, component, interval, role, and evidence. Captains can document completed work, attach photos or service records, and keep overdue items visible. For ISM Code aligned operations, the system supports a practical safety management rhythm: responsibilities are defined, corrective actions are traceable, and the management office can see risk without asking for a fresh spreadsheet before every audit.
Engine-hour and calendar triggers
Yacht maintenance rarely fits a single calendar schedule. Engines, generators, tenders, watermakers, fire systems, and navigation equipment may require service by running hours, elapsed time, or operational context. HelmOps supports both engine-hour and calendar-based planning so technical crew can trigger jobs when usage demands it. That helps avoid under-maintenance during busy charter seasons and unnecessary work during quiet periods. The vessel gets a clearer maintenance forecast, and owners can understand why a job is due based on actual operating conditions.
Defects, surveys, and SOLAS equipment readiness
Defects and near misses should not disappear into informal messages. HelmOps lets crew report issues, link them to tasks, assign responsibility, and record closure evidence. Class survey checklists, flag-state preparation, and SOLAS equipment checks can sit beside everyday maintenance, giving captains one operational view of technical readiness. When an item affects safety, budget, or charter availability, the escalation path is visible. This creates a stronger audit trail and reduces the risk of a known defect being forgotten during a busy turnaround.
