Chemical Management System
Streamlined chemical tracking and compliance
Sirius Maritime Group, a forward-thinking player in the maritime industry, partnered with Metizoft in January 2023 to take control of their Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) maintenance.
Facing time-consuming processes and the challenge of managing multiple vessels without a consolidated solution, Sirius needed an efficient system to streamline their compliance efforts.
Here’s how Metizoft helped Sirius Maritime Group transform their approach to IHM maintenance:
The Challenge
Before implementing Metizoft’s IHM Maintenance solution, Sirius Maritime Group’s compliance department struggled with:
- Chasing monthly Purchase Orders (POs) from vessels.
- Lack of a unified system for managing records and ensuring compliance across the fleet.
- The absence of a presentable and easy-to-use solution for audits and regulatory checks.
The Solution
After conducting a web search, Sirius discovered Metizoft. They decided to outsource their IHM maintenance to save time and ensure a professional, streamlined approach. Metizoft’s Metizone platform proved to be the perfect solution.
The Results
With Metizoft’s IHM Maintenance, Sirius Maritime Group has experienced several benefits:
- Centralized Record Management: All fleet records are now consolidated on the Metizone platform.
- Simplified Compliance: The ability to assign user accounts for each vessel makes it easier to maintain compliance.
- Neat and Professional Presentation: The clean and organized overview reassures classification societies during audits.
- Operational Efficiency
The time saved in their compliance department has been a game-changer. Shaun Moore. Compliance Manager and DPA at Sirius Maritime Group, says:
“Metizoft has definitely improved our efficiency, allowing us to focus on other priorities”
Unexpected Benefits
One surprising outcome has been the fleet-wide acceptance of the solution. Some vessels that previously managed compliance on their own have embraced the system, finding it saves them time and simplifies their workload.
Seamless Implementation
Sirius praised Metizoft’s team for their support during the setup phase. “Your team has been great in assisting the setup phase and reminding vessels when monthly POs are behind,” Moore shared.
A Strong Recommendation
When asked if they would recommend Metizoft’s solution, Moore’s response was clear:
“Highly recommended. It doesn’t get any easier.”
Advice to Others
Sirius Marine Group encourages other companies to consider outsourcing their IHM maintenance to save time and improve compliance.
By partnering with Metizoft, Sirius Maritime Group has not only solved their immediate challenges but also unlocked new levels of efficiency and fleet-wide benefits.
