AIDAblu with GL Maritime Software
10. Feb. 2010 | Hamburg / Germany - AIDA Cruises's latest newbuilding AIDAblu uses GL Maritime Software for ship management. The comprehensive software suite GL ShipManager supports planned maintenance, purchasing, stock control, voyage management, port clearance, incident management, and quality and safety management.
The software installation process had been completed while AIDAblu was still in the yard. Integrating the installation of the vessel system into the newbuilding phase allows for optimal use of the software as soon as the vessel is docked out and begins its service. All vessel-specific data such as equipment, machinery and spare parts as well as maintenance job details were captured in the database before installation.
"The capability and ease of use of GL Maritime Software, especially its purchasing, order and delivery management, and maintenance planning functions, are traditional strengths of our system that has long been commended by shipping companies of all sectors. We are pleased that AIDA Cruises is able to take advantage of these strengths to efficiently manage its cruise operations," said Dr Torsten Büssow, Head of GL Maritime Software.
AIDA Cruises uses GL Maritime Software in its office and on its entire fleet of now seven cruise ships to streamline purchasing processes, implement maintenance strategy, and facilitate information management. Additional future sister ships on order will also be equipped with GL Maritime Software.
AIDA Cruises, a Carnival Group company, is the No. 1 cruise ship company in Germany. With its AIDA club ships, the company adds new and unusual accents to vacations at sea. As a tour operator and ocean carrier all in one, the company jointly manages and markets seven club ships, AIDAcara, AIDAvita, AIDAaura, AIDAdiva, AIDAbella, AIDAluna and AIDAblu.
