Smarter shipbuilding. Stronger fleet operations

Maritime

Smarter maintenance, stronger compliance, and full lifecycle control for shipbuilders, OEMs, and vessel operators. DMMS by LAMA Empowers, built on IBM Maximo, helps maritime organizations reduce downtime, improve visibility, and manage assets with confidence. 

The maritime sector is shifting from vessel delivery alone to long-term lifecycle support. Shipbuilders, OEMs, and fleet operators are under growing pressure to reduce unplanned downtime, comply with increasingly complex regulations, and gain real-time insight into asset condition and performance. LAMA Empowers helps maritime organizations respond to that shift with DMMS: a maritime Asset Lifecycle Management solution built to connect maintenance, compliance, service, and operational insight across the full lifecycle of a vessel.

The challenge

Maritime organizations operate in a demanding environment where availability, safety, cost control, and compliance are all critical. At the same time, many still deal with fragmented documentation, manual processes, limited fleet visibility, and insufficient tools for onboard and onshore teams. That makes it harder to plan proactively, control maintenance costs, and stay audit-ready.

How LAMA Empowers helps

LAMA Empowers helps maritime organizations move from fragmented maintenance and service processes to an integrated lifecycle approach. With DMMS, maintenance, certification, documentation, inspections, and asset performance are managed in one central platform. This gives shipbuilders, OEMs, and operators greater control over reliability, compliance, and long-term asset value.

Our solution: DMMS

Dynamic Maritime Management System (DMMS) is an industry-specific, modular solution developed by LAMA Empowers as an IBM Gold Business Partner and built on the IBM Maximo Application Suite. It combines maritime domain expertise with proven asset management technology to support both operational control and compliance management.

Built for

Shipbuilders & OEMs

For shipbuilders and OEMs, the market is moving from one-off delivery to long-term partnership. Customers increasingly expect maintenance support, transparency, certifications, and post-delivery service as part of the total value proposition. DMMS helps organizations make that shift with lifecycle support, predictive service, centralized certificate management, and greater customer visibility after delivery.

Vessel operators

For vessel operators, daily operations depend on balancing availability, safety, budget control, and regulatory compliance. DMMS supports operators with condition-based and predictive maintenance, mobile tools for crews and technicians, real-time fleet dashboards, and built-in audit, inspection, and certification modules.

Proven in practice

Damen Shipyards partnered with LAMA empowers to implement DMMS as a centralized, future-proof platform for configuration management, asset management, and service processes. Today, more than 2,700 vessel configurations are digitally managed through a single platform, providing deeper insight into maintenance needs, operational costs, and customer-specific configurations across a global environment. The case also highlights proactive maintenance planning, improved cost calculation per vessel, and new service revenue opportunities.

Looking ahead

The future of maritime asset management lies in intelligent automation and AI-driven decision-making. LAMA Empowers integrates IBM watsonx into DMMS to help organizations enrich asset data, support predictive maintenance, generate reports faster, and improve data quality with less manual effort. This supports faster, smarter, and more scalable maritime operations.
