Lloyd's Register EMEA awards software conformity assessment
certificate to Fortune Technologies
Lloyd's Register EMEA has awarded Greece-based maritime software
provider Fortune Technologies a software conformity assessment
certificate to indicate that its planned maintenance system
software is approved for use onboard Lloyd's Register-classed
vessels operating Lloyd's Register's Machinery Planned Maintenance
Scheme (MPMS).
"As part of our continuous effort to validate and streamline our
Maritime Add-on solution, our Planned Maintenance System Software
passed all the required Lloyd's Register tests and gained the
'Software Conformity Certificate," says George Frydas, Managing
Director of Fortune. "At Fortune Technologies we pride ourselves on
being Lloyd's Register tested and approved. We are dedicated to
maintaining and increasing the quality of our product without
interruption and will continue to make significant investments to
introduce unique technologies in the industry."
"The approval of Fortune's software for use as part of MPMS is a
major benefit to ship operators, as it simplifies the process by
which the MPMS descriptive note is awarded to individual ships.
Fortune is one of the leading companies in Greece to achieve this
certification for its software," says Richard Sadler, CEO of
Lloyd's Register.
The software conformity assessment system run by Lloyd's
Register is an impartial certification system based on assessment
of software products against published criteria which involves
inspection of requirements, design, testing, verification,
configuration management and maintenance.
MPMS is a modified survey procedure which enables ships' chief
engineers to carry out inspections and surveys on a selected number
of machinery items, such as diesel engines and auxiliaries. The
operation of the scheme is audited or surveyed on an annual basis
by a Lloyd's Register Group surveyor to confirm that the
maintenance work has been carried out in accordance with the
planned schedule and that the machinery has functioned
satisfactorily since the previous audit.
Ends.
