PRIME Marine provides marine management software for the maritime and shipping industry, unifying vessel maintenance, procurement, crew management, vessel performance, certificate control, and QHSE into a single intelligent platform. The system is designed to improve efficiency, lower operating costs, and reduce downtime for ship owners, fleet managers, and vessel inspectors. It operates on one database across more than 1,800 vessels globally, replacing guesswork with real-time fleet visibility.

The platform is priced per fleet rather than per seat, with costs determined by fleet size, vessel types, and the specific modules selected for the scope. Implementation, migration, training, and support are quoted together with the pricing, allowing customers to start with one module or the entire platform as needed. Customers are asked to provide their fleet details so a plan can be built around their specific vessels.

PRIME Marine manages over 1,800 vessels today, serving owner-operators and third-party managers across commercial and offshore fleets in 17 countries. The software supports compliance workflows for frameworks such as ISPS, MARPOL, SOLAS, MLC 2006, IMO, CII, EU ETS, and ISO/IEC 27001-aligned hosting. Offices are located in major ship management hubs to ensure support during working hours.

The system includes 18 connected modules covering maintenance, procurement, QHSE, crewing, and performance, all running on a single database. Key features include planned maintenance, defect management, ISM document management, incident tracking, risk assessment, and safety drills. Additional capabilities encompass shipyard project management, automated invoicing, and seafarer portals.

PRIME Marine was first released in 2018 as a web-first solution with no desktop client to migrate away from. The company started by addressing the problem of superintendents spending excessive time reconciling spreadsheets instead of managing vessels. The software was designed alongside superintendents, masters, engineers, and purchasing teams to follow real shipboard processes.

Customers report achieving 99.9% uptime, 40% fewer non-conformities, and 95% paperless operations after adopting the system. The platform is described as powerful, secure, and ready when needed, with data stored either on-premises or in the cloud. It converts data into insights that guide decision-making while on the go.

To get started, users can request a live demo where a specialist walks through the software using their own fleet size and vessel types. The contact process involves filling out a form with company details and selecting products of interest, after which a PRIME Marine associate replies within one business day. Demos are customized rather than following a fixed script.

The software is aimed at vessel operators who need control over data, costs, and compliance, whether managing a global fleet or a specialized fleet of OSVs. It helps retain the power and flexibility to improve balance sheets through data and transparency. The platform works together to replace guesswork with a real-time view of the entire fleet.

The system assists in handling large data through a unified web-based marine software that simplifies complex installations and extensive trainings. It is crafted to empower ship owners, fleet managers, vessel inspectors, DPAs, and crew to set sail for higher ambitions. Secure storage options allow data to be converted into powerful insights for decision-making.

PRIME Marine offers services including data migration, project management, and third-party integration alongside training and support services. The platform integrates alerts, automated invoicing, and supplier management systems to streamline supply chain operations. It also provides crew management and payroll functions along with seafarer portals.

The software is built around three principles that prioritize shipboard processes, ensuring each workflow follows a real shipboard process rather than an abstract database schema. This design ensures that a defect raised onboard creates a maintenance job, draws down inventory, and raises a purchase requisition without duplicate entries. The one database approach ensures everything follows from a single source of truth.

The platform covers QHSE functions such as ISM document management, incident and event tracking, audits and inspections, risk assessments, safety meetings, drills, and forms management. It also includes vessel certificates, vessel performance analytics and KPIs, and shipyard project management. Procurement modules handle inventory, warehouse, and budget controls.

The software is designed to keep vessels inspection-ready at all times and is used by fleets like Pacific Pearl, ARZEW ENTREPRISE, Hyundai Ocean Service, SIRIUS SHIP MANAGEMENT, SYSTEMAR, MARINE SOLUTIONZ, EMAS, DINAMIKI, C.A.M. s.r.l., and HOGER OFFSHORE. It operates across 17 countries with offices in major ship management hubs to support global operations.

The platform is described as a connected system that turns complexity into confidence across vessel maintenance, procurement, budgets, QHSE, compliance, audits, crewing, and beyond. It is positioned as an all-in-one vessel management software for maximum efficiency. The website states that effortless adoption is the new future, moving away from complex installations.

The system includes features for managing vessel performance, analytics, and KPIs, as well as voyage monitoring and strategic bidding. It also provides bulletins, SMS reviews, and forms manager tools to streamline communication and documentation. The platform supports both technical management and supply chain procurement needs.
