Asset management software solutions provider SpecTec Cruise is to help Carnival Corporation develop a fleetwide marine asset management transformation programme (MAST).
In the first phase of the partnership, the companies will focus on developing a standardised application for the cruise corporation’s nine brands and setting global data standards. The single asset management solution will be used across the fleet and is expected to reduce overall operating costs and increase worker efficiency onboard and onshore.
“This partnership is monumental for SpecTec Cruise and truly solidifies our dedication to the cruise sector,” said Roddy MacLennan, CEO of SpecTecCruise. “Carnival Corporation is the largest operator in the cruise industry, and as a long-term partner, we're excited to work together to deliver a single asset management operating system (AMOS) solution that achieves its end goals today and well into the future.”
SpecTec will collaborate closely with the corporation’s nine brands and their partners to deliver the solution to all ships, with the roll out expected to be completed by 2023.
“Carnival Corporation is focused on aligning our fleet of more than 100 ships onto a single, global AMOS environment, which will enable us to unlock significant value across our technical assets through globalised data and aligned processes,” said Doug Frauenberger, director of MAST at Carnival Corporation. “SpecTec is the leading asset management solution provider in the cruise industry, and we look forward to building off the success our Holland America Group and Carnival UK brands have had using the AMOS to deliver a robust solution to meet our unique business needs.”
