The Singapore Ministry of Transport had awarded a Minister Innovation Award to the latest DNV project with MPA (Maritime Port Authority) to reduce paper work onboard the ship and promote safety.
06/12/2006 :: The project was proposed by DNV in February 2006 and completed in June 2006. Project partners comprised of MPA, TORM Singapore, DNV Maritime Partner and DNV Singapore.
The project allows ship crew to submit crew change information via XML files electronically to MPA using DNV Navigator, for Singapore flag ships. This will save valuable resources onboard that could have been spent on paper reporting, manual verification of written reports and possible correction/re-submissions.
DNV Navigator will allow minimum data entry by crew by capitalising the system database onboard and automatically perform verification of entered data before submission to MPA.
The solution has since been distributed to all DNV Navigator customers of 830 ships from 56 companies globally. DNV Navigator also supports the submission of eNOA/D to USCG via XML
