Ship maintenance information system : development of-efiling (e-Mahsuri)

Abstract

Technical Department of Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) Langkawi needs to record vessel damage information and daily status of the vessel in different databases. Then, the daily status of the vessel must be printed every day for the use of Operating Room, Operations Officer and Technical Department. In addition, the daily status of the vessel should be delivered by hand. The purpose of this study was to collect vessel damage information and daily status of the vessel from January 2010 to September 2010. Both of this information will be combined in a database. The main goal is to develop a filing system to facilitate the information sharing and reduced printed cost. This system will be developed using the method of System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The software will be used to develop this system is FileMaker Pro Advance. Hopefully with the existence of this system, administration at Technical Department of MMEA Langkawi will be more efficient and faster in handling the maintenance of ships and boats.
