What software do ship owners use?
Ship owners use maritime ERP / ship management software that covers fleet operations, voyage planning, chartering, technical management (PMS), crew management (STCW, MLC), ISM/ISPS compliance, port agency / DA, and owner reporting. WHIZMarine is one such platform — built specifically for vessel-centric businesses since 2006.
How does WHIZMarine help ship owners with multiple flag states?
WHIZMarine is flag-state agnostic. Each vessel is configured with its registered flag, applicable class society, port-state-control history, and statutory certificates with their renewal cycles. The platform automatically applies the right regulatory requirements per vessel (SOLAS, MARPOL, STCW, MLC, ISM, ISPS) and surfaces upcoming surveys, certificate expiries and audit windows.
Can the platform handle charter operations?
Yes. WHIZMarine handles all standard charter types: voyage charter (CIF/CFR/FOB), time charter (NYPE, BALTIME — with hire calculation, off-hire tracking, redelivery), bareboat (BARECON), and contract of affreightment. Hire computations, address commissions, demurrage and off-hire periods are tracked per charter party.
How is fleet performance tracked?
Live KPIs per vessel: speed/consumption against warranted, fuel cost per nautical mile, voyage P&L (revenue vs costs including bunkers, port DAs, agency fees, lubes, victualling), CII (Carbon Intensity Indicator) tracking, off-hire days and root causes. Owners see consolidated fleet performance and drill down to vessel level.
Does WHIZMarine handle bunker management?
Yes. Bunker procurement (RFQ-to-delivery), bunker stem reconciliation against delivery, consumption tracking per voyage, slow-steaming calculations, IMO 2020 sulphur compliance, and FOMC (Fuel Oil Management Committee) reporting. AI optimisation jointly considers speed, route and bunker procurement against ETA constraints.
How does the platform support ship managers (third-party)?
WHIZMarine is built for third-party ship managers handling multiple owners' fleets. Per-owner segregation (each owner sees only their vessels, P&L, reporting), per-owner billing for management services, consolidated KPI dashboards across all managed fleets. Each owner can have different ISM SMS, different procurement processes, different reporting cycles.
What integrations does WHIZMarine support?
Native EDI to class societies (DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, NK, RINA), port community systems, owner ERPs (SAP IDoc, OAGIS BOD), AIS/vessel tracking providers, bunker indices, FX feeds, REST APIs and webhooks for any other system.
