SINGAPORE: Aquator Marine, a software company dedicated to the yachting industry, is pleased to announce that its Planned Maintenance System (PMS) has been awarded a Software Conformity Assessment Certification from Lloyd’s Register (LR).
This recognition places Aquator Marine at the forefront of yachting software innovation, by attaining this approval. The certification reflects Aquator Marine’s commitment to raising operational standards across the yacht lifecycle through compliant, future-proof, and performance-driven software.
This industry-first achievement is a significant milestone not only for Aquator Marine but for the wider yachting ecosystem, where the demand for digitization, regulatory transparency, and technical accountability is growing rapidly.
As the yachting sector continues to adopt smarter technologies, certified software solutions such as Aquator Marine’s PMS offer shipyards, owners, yacht managers, captains and crew confidence that their maintenance systems meet internationally recognized safety and operational benchmarks.
A Comprehensive and Rigorous Evaluation
The certification was awarded following a detailed and independent Software Conformity Assessment conducted by Lloyd’s Register, a global authority in maritime assurance and compliance.
The evaluation process included a thorough audit of Aquator’s system architecture, testing procedures, quality assurance framework, and user functionality. Key areas of review included:
Verification of requirement specifications and software design documentation
Independent witnessed testing of core functionalities and edge cases
Assessment of configuration management and system version control
Evaluation of operational reliability, including update and maintenance protocols
The outcome affirms that Aquator’s PMS not only meets but exceeds critical maritime software standards, ensuring its suitability for use aboard vessels and yachts that require reliable, auditable, and class-compliant maintenance procedures.
Gerben Visser, CEO of Aquator Marine, commented:
“Achieving Lloyd’s Register certification is a significant validation of the rigorous work that goes into our product development. From day one, our vision has been to build technology that directly supports the operational needs and compliance challenges of the yachting sector. With this certification, we’ve taken a meaningful step in bridging software innovation with the highest regulatory standards.”
“The Planned Maintenance System is more than just a scheduling tool, it is a mission-critical system that impacts safety, asset longevity, and vessel reputation. Certification by Lloyd’s reaffirms our commitment to excellence, resilience, and operational transparency. As yachts grow in complexity and regulations tighten, having a certified, reliable PMS in place will become essential, not optional for owners, builders, yacht managers, captains and crew alike.”
Key Operational Benefits for Yachting Professionals
Aquator Marine’s newly certified PMS introduces a range of operational benefits for users throughout the yacht lifecycle, including:
Operational Efficiency – Streamlines tasks through intelligent scheduling, reducing vessel downtime and increasing crew productivity
Enhanced Safety – Ensures preventive maintenance is timely, reducing the likelihood of system failures or safety incidents
Regulatory Compliance – Eases the burden of class audits and surveys through automated documentation and transparent workflows
Lifecycle Cost Reduction – Mitigates the risk of major breakdowns, reducing emergency repair costs and optimizing maintenance budgets
Improved Asset Value – Enhances resale and charter desirability with a verifiable digital record of vessel care and upkeep
Advancing the Digital Standards
This certification sets a new benchmark in how maintenance is managed in the yachting industry. While maintenance software is not new, few systems have undergone the level of scrutiny required for classification society certification.
Aquator Marine’s achievement not only sets its PMS apart in a competitive landscape, but also paves the way for broader adoption of class-approved digital tools that promote accountability, sustainability, and safety at sea. About Aquator Marine
