One platform: a gateway aboard, a picture ashore. What changes is what you need to know, the kind of vessel you run, and where it is in its life.
By question
Each one says which layer of MA does the work, what kind of evidence stands behind it, and where it sits on the evolution ladder.
By vessel
MA is designed around vessel-specific engineering context rather than a single vessel type. What differs is which question comes first.
Short, hard runs, many times a day, in whatever the weather does. The first questions are about the engines and the crew: what each run costs, what slamming is doing to hull and people, and which engine is drifting from its twin.
Long distances, shallow water, thin coverage and a shore office a long way from the vessel. The gateway holds what it reads when the link drops and sends it when the link returns; the questions are about machinery between overhauls and fuel by leg on a river that pushes back.
Bursts of full power, long stretches idle, and run-hours that set the maintenance calendar. The questions: what the job actually cost, how much of the day was idle, and whether the towing load is showing in the machinery.
The same crossing, many times a day, so the vessel’s own history is the sharpest yardstick. The questions are about consistency: fuel per crossing, motion and comfort in the conditions met, and early warning ahead of a scheduled service.
Before the vessel exists. Design assumptions become the reference the vessel is judged against in service, so the yard sees how its design performs and the operator sees deviation from what this boat, specifically, should do.
By stage
The engineering model is built from the documentation and calculations, and sea trials give it a baseline. Designers and yards take part through Project MARAM.
The live picture and the voyage record are in operation on working vessels. Deviation from the vessel’s own model, shown with its evidence, is in trial.
Advise and Assure follow, each when the level below it can be trusted. MA is built to show the evidence at every step, so that trust has something to rest on.
Engagement
From a conversation about one vessel to a live picture and the first findings, with what is agreed before the gateway goes aboard.
