Built around shipboard reality
Vessels lose connectivity, bandwidth is metered and crews change. Shipboard installations run offline-capable and sync through delta replication, sending only changed records.

About PRIME Marine
PRIME Marine is vessel management software for ship owners, ship managers and fleet operators. One database runs maintenance, procurement, safety and quality, crewing and vessel performance together, across more than 1,800 vessels today.

Our story
Superintendents were spending more of the week reconciling spreadsheets than managing vessels.
Maintenance sat in one system, purchasing in another, safety in a third and crewing in a fourth, and none of them shared a record. The same job was entered several times over, and by the time shore had a clear picture of a vessel, it was already out of date.
PRIME Marine vessel management software was released in 2018 to close that gap. We designed it alongside the people who would use it — superintendents, masters, engineers and purchasing teams — so each workflow follows a real shipboard process rather than an abstract database schema. Much of this category still runs on codebases first written in the 1990s; we built web-first from day one, with no desktop client to migrate away from.
One database is the decision everything else follows from. A defect raised onboard creates a maintenance job, draws down inventory, raises a purchase requisition and updates the vessel’s compliance record, without anyone entering it twice.
How we build
Every decision in PRIME Marine vessel management software comes back to these three.
Vessels lose connectivity, bandwidth is metered and crews change. Shipboard installations run offline-capable and sync through delta replication, sending only changed records.
Each vessel class carries its own maintenance plan, document library, spare parts hierarchy and inspection checklist. A tanker under SIRE 2.0 vetting and an OSV on charter run the same system, configured differently.
PRIME Marine is built and owned by its own team, with implementation, migration, training and support handled in-house rather than passed to resellers.
What we build
PRIME Marine vessel management software groups its modules into five areas of fleet operation. The full set is documented on the vessel management software page.
Maintenance · Defect · Certificates · Shipyard Project Management
Procurement · Inventory · Warehouse · Budgeting · Strategic & Bidding
Quality & Safety Management · ISM Document Management · Incident / Event · Audit & Inspection · Risk Assessment · Safety Meeting · Safety Drills · Forms Manager · Bulletins · SMS Review
My Dashboard · Analytics & KPIs · Vessel Performance and Voyage Monitoring
Who we serve
Vessel management software is only as good as the day-to-day work it carries. These are the roles it is built around.

Regulatory coverage
PRIME Marine vessel management software supports compliance workflows for the ISM Code, the ISPS Code, MARPOL, SOLAS, MLC 2006 and the IMO Carbon Intensity Indicator.
CII, EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime reporting run inside the Vessel Performance module, which turns noon reports and bunker data into rating calculations without a separate emissions tool. ISM documentation, non-conformity tracking and corrective action close-out run through the Quality & Safety Management suite, and statutory and class certificate expiry is tracked in Certificates, with alerts to shore and vessel. The Maintenance module holds class approval from Bureau Veritas.
How we work with fleets
Implementation, configuration, training and ongoing support come from a dedicated projects team. Historical data is extracted, cleansed, validated and imported, so maintenance history, crew records and inventory balances carry forward rather than restarting at zero.
What exists today, in which systems, and in what condition.
Modules, vessel classes, maintenance plans and permissions set up for your fleet.
Legacy records, spreadsheets and paper extracted, cleansed, validated and imported.
Superintendent, shore and crew training on the workflows each role uses.
One vessel live first, so the configuration is proven before rollout.
Remaining vessels brought on, with support across time zones.
Cloud-hosted, on your own on-premises infrastructure, or a hybrid of both. Cloud adoption is not a condition of purchase.
PRIME Marine integrates with accounting and ERP systems, class society databases, noon-reporting and weather-routing providers, and e-procurement marketplaces through a documented REST API.
Where we are
Our footprint puts support staff inside the working hours of the major ship management hubs: Singapore, Piraeus, Hamburg, Dubai and Oslo.
Post-implementation support is delivered across time zones, so a vessel raising an issue mid-voyage reaches a working support desk.

Our commitment to the sea
CII, EU ETS and fuel-consumption analytics turn noon reports and bunker data into the numbers a decarbonisation plan is built on, alongside fleet-level analytics and KPIs. Alongside the software, our team supports initiatives that protect marine life and promote responsible operating practice, and writes about fleet operations in the Insight Hub.

Cloud-hosted, on your own on-premises infrastructure, or as a hybrid of both. Cloud adoption is not a condition of purchase.
Yes. Shipboard installations run offline-capable, and vessels synchronise with shore through delta replication, sending only changed records rather than full datasets.
Infrastructure aligned to ISO/IEC 27001, data encrypted in transit and at rest, role-based permissions, single sign-on, enforced multi-factor authentication and recurring third-party penetration testing.
Pricing is per fleet and depends on vessel count, vessel types and the modules you take, so there is no published list price. Implementation, migration, configuration and training are quoted separately from the licence.
