As fleets grow larger and more complex, ensuring the smooth operation and maintenance of vessels and attached assets becomes a critical task. That’s where Barge Maintenance steps in. This innovative feature, coming soon to the Helm CONNECT, empowers users to streamline barge maintenance processes, increase transparency, and enhance overall fleet management.
What is Barge Maintenance?
Barge Maintenance is a new feature that bridges the gap between vessel and barge management. Working seamlessly with existing maintenance workflows, Barge Maintenance introduces a powerful toolset that includes tasks, certifications, and checklists for barges. This ensures that maintenance data is not only centralized but also travels seamlessly with the attached barge. This data travels with the asset, creating a dynamic Attached Space. This provides transparency to both shore-based and onboard users, allowing them to effortlessly track maintenance data across the entire fleet. With this functionality, onboard and shore-based users gain unprecedented visibility into the maintenance and certification data of both primary assets and attached assets.
Attached Assets
Attached Assets introduces a new era of flexibility and control within fleet management. This feature provides users the ability to attach up to 50 barges to a single vessel, offering unparalleled visibility into the maintenance status of a vast fleet. Previously, offline/onboard visibility was limited to the primary asset, but with Attached Assets, you can ensure that every asset’s health and compliance is accurately tracked, even in an offline state.

Advanced Search
With the introduction of Barge Maintenance, Advanced Search will be receiving some major upgrades. These upgrades will grant users the ability to query all maintenance and compliance data when and where they want. This upgraded Advanced Search tool has been engineered to accommodate even the most extensive fleet sizes, with lightning-fast query speeds and an abundance of new filters and columns. Queries that used to take ages now take mere seconds. With its user-centric design and comprehensive search capabilities, Advanced Search promises to be a vital asset for both new users and seasoned fleet managers.
