MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
ROSEMONT YACHT MANAGEMENT
RYS LIVE is Rosemont Yacht Management’s bespoke digital
cloud-based document management system providing
seamless on-line and off-line management of the yacht’s
certification, documentation and records. RYS LIVE has
been designed to reduce and streamline administrative
tasks on board saving time and space, allowing the yacht
to run a truly paperless ISM system. In addition to standard
ISM Management components, RYS Live has dedicated
custom-built modules for risk management, hours of rest,
crew & guest lists, crew & yacht certificates, and planned
maintenance. Each user has the ability to fill and submit
forms, checklists and reports accessible directly from any
computer, iPad or phone.

integrate with the Muster Roll so that the captain can easily
see who is on board and who needs to muster in the event of
an emergency. Says Clarke, “The Total Superyacht’s data-rich
environment enables the captain and manager to know which deck
most accidents occur on across an entire fleet, or the average
number of days it takes each vessel to complete a non-conformity
report, or understand which positions exceed their HOR. So
captains and managers can see what areas require attention
in order to continually improve safety for crew and guests.”
ANY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
STILL NEEDS TO BE AS SIMPLE
AS POSSIBLE FOR ALL THE
CREW TO USE, NOT JUST THE
ENGINEERS
Rosmont’s RYS Live system is similarly populated with several
safety related forms and checklists, risk assessments and
operating procedures as well as tools for monitoring planned
maintenance and crew hours of rest.
EVOLVE
Already super-complex and super-effective, operating systems
are constantly tweaked for safety and service improvements.
One example is the SOS Total Superyacht’s guest In/Out Board
(operated by crew) that doubles as a security measure to identify
guest movements with a time stamp and activity selection. This
helps the captain confidently answer an owner’s question such
as, “Do you know where my daughter is?”

SOS also provides a Luxe Knowledge Centre that crew can access
and find verified information about everything related to guest
service: silver service, cocktail recipes, barista procedures, laundry
care and guest personal care as well as expert information on
the care of all the luxury surfaces typically found on superyachts
(teak, marble, crystal, brass, paint, etc).
IDEA are soon to release software for boats of 30-45 metres.
It will allow a 360° management view and can see shortcomings
(due certificates, trainings, etc.) in advance for the vessel even
in a heavy charter season.
Rosemont has recently launched an interactive Risk Management
module to its software which means crew are guided through the
Risk Management process step-by-step resulting in a workable
plan for managing risk on board. The software also allows crew
to register and monitor their hours of work and rest which is
viewable by the captain and shoreside management.
Over the last two years Deep Blue Soft has been developing
the ISM module for full ISM or mini ISM yachts. Explains Hardi,
“The challenge was to integrate such a complex module into our
management system/platform, from which crew,°managers, DPA
or owners’ Reps can switch in one click from purchase orders,
to payrolls, to safe manning, technical maintenance, to ISM
procedures.°The system also uses our unique real time ‘Ship to
Shore’ communication system and data synchronisation between
the onboard server and master server ashore.°This has drastically
changed life onboard for mainly officers and pursers, but also
for other crew members, offering each user with a professional
work frame they can°rely on every day.”
AND EVOLVE AGAIN
It’s the experience and complex know-how of the operating
system companies that make the products so slick but simple
to use. But that’s not all. As Tobias Allebrodt points out: he
chooses to listen to yacht crew and not second guess. “We
try to develop for our customers solutions they tell us they
want to use instead of thinking, German like, what we think
they might want.”
