WEBINAR: Aberdeen Maritime Joint Branch AGM, followed by DNV VOMA - Vessel Operations & Maintenance Audit

IMarEST TV recording by the Aberdeen Maritime Joint Branch on the 29th March 2023. This webinar was presented by Lewis Henderson of DNV.

The complex interrelationship between vessel safety, operational efficiency and performance creates an equally complex challenge in how to manage it effectively throughout the O&M stage of the asset lifecycle. The lack of a cohesive and holistic approach can result in multiple individual efforts from different disciplines and departments, each focused on a particular area and making decisions based on a limited view of the overall problem.

This webinar begins with the Branch AGM, followed by a technical presentation on the topic of vessel operations and maintenance audit. The presentation explores such problems as well as introduces the DNV Vessel Operations and Maintenance Audit (VOMA) service which has been created to help vessel owners navigate these issues and identify areas for improvement via an independent, objective assessment of their current processes and procedures.
