Why fleets still struggle

The cost of how it’s done today

A flat equipment list in a spreadsheet cannot drive maintenance: it does not know intervals, does not link to spares, and cannot tell you what history belongs to which component.

The traditional approach

Machinery inventories kept per vessel with no shared structure, no interval logic, and no connection to jobs, defects, or the parts that fit each unit.

Monday with WaterTight

What changes when this is under control

A structured hierarchy—categories, departments, systems, equipment, components—where every item carries intervals, running hours, spare-part mappings, manuals, and its own maintenance and defect history.

Time back

Jobs generate automatically from the intervals held against each item, so the schedule builds itself from the register instead of by hand.

Less waste

Accurate spare-part mapping per equipment item prevents over-ordering and duplicate parts across the fleet.

Lower risk

Every job, defect, and part is traceable to a specific component, giving surveyors a clean history instead of guesswork.

Spare-parts mapping per equipment item

Equipment manuals and Ship's Library links

Fleet templates and Excel import

Capabilities

  1. Linked to job schedules and checklists
  2. Component-level tracking and history
  3. Defect history per item

Ship to shore

How the work moves

  1. Superintendent builds or imports the equipment tree
  2. Intervals and running hours attach to each item
  3. Jobs auto-schedule and appear on the linked equipment
  4. Structure changes proposed and applied fleet-wide

Questions before you commit

Can equipment structure differ per vessel?
Yes. Equipment is configured per vessel, with fleet templates and Excel import so sister ships can share a common structure.
Does the register link to spare parts?
Yes. Parts map to the equipment they fit, so spares, usage, and parts-to-order stay tied to the correct component.
Can I track running hours per machine?
Yes. Equipment items hold running hours that can drive job scheduling alongside calendar intervals.
Where do equipment manuals live?
Manuals attach to equipment in PMS and can also be tracked as physical copies in Ship's Library so editions stay aligned for audit.

Bring this pain to a demo

We’ll walk equipment register for Technical Superintendent and Chief Engineer on a sample vessel — so you can judge the fit, not sit through a feature tour.
