Maintenance of Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS) on MPV Jura, Minna, Hirta

Tender description

The current Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS) is based on a computerised system dating back to 2013 in the case of the MPV Minna, 2014 in the case of MPV Jura and 2015 in the case of the MPV Hirta. The system employed uses Moxa Marine PC’s (three per ship), two hard-wired to each other forming dual-redundant work stations in the machinery control room (mcr), linked by a fibre-optic ring main to 9 off Input/Output (I/O) plates, and a third PC in the engine room workshop as a remote workstation. Due to the increasing age of the system, there have been several failures on the input/output plates, and their attendant power supplies. It should be noted that the current IPMS uses proprietary software belonging to Rolls-Royce. In order to facilitate an upgrade, bidders will have to demonstrate a suitable contractual relationship with Rolls-Royce is in place to ensure completion of this task.
