Let’s be honest — a lot of maintenance “tracking” on yachts still happens with post-its, memory, or Excel. And while that might get you through a week at anchor, it won’t fly with Lloyd’s, the IMO, or your engineer when something critical gets missed.

 

If your goal is compliance, operational efficiency, and fewer costly breakdowns… then a Lloyd’s-approved Planned Maintenance System (PMS) isn’t just nice to have — it’s non-negotiable.

 

What Does “Lloyd’s Approved” Actually Mean?

It means your maintenance tracking system meets one of the most globally recognized safety and class standards in the maritime world. A PMS with this certification is:

 

  • Auditable
  • Reliable
  • Built to prevent human error
  • Designed with traceability in mind

 

And, crucially — it gives yacht owners, managers, and captains a big tick of confidence when it comes to safety and resale value.

 

How Aquator’s PMS Delivers the Difference

We built Aquator’s PMS for real-world yacht operations — and then went the extra mile to get it Lloyd’s certified. Here’s how it stands out:

 

🛠 Drag-and-drop job management

Easily assign recurring or one-time jobs across systems or departments.

 

📅 Smart scheduling & overdue alerts

Plan ahead and get nudged when something slips through the cracks.

 

🔎 Work history + asset documentation in one place

No more chasing PDFs, WhatsApp threads, or memory.

 

📂 Class & flag-ready logs

Exportable job history and documentation — perfect for annual audits or inspections.

 

⚙️ Integrates with technical manuals and suppliers

Pre-load manufacturer-recommended jobs and specs right into your dashboard.

 

PMS Isn’t Just for Engineers — It’s a Team Game

  • Captains get peace of mind and cleaner audits
  • Engineers get proper schedules, histories, and support
  • Owners and managers get transparency and value protection
  • Shipyards and builders get a stronger handover tool

 

Why settle for another spreadsheet when Lloyd’s has already shown you the way?

Let Aquator handle your PMS — so you can focus on smooth sailing.
