DNV AiP for Keppel’s Assetcare

The AiP award follows the signing in April 2020 of a memorandum of understanding between DNV and Keppel aimed at improving the efficiency of the design and construction process and asset lifecycle support services for marine and offshore projects.

“Our AssetCare system will be a key enabler in the digitalisation of assets and processes that can improve efficiency and advance the energy transition in support of Keppel’s Vision 2030,” said Tan Leong Peng, managing director (newbuilds) Keppel O&M.

The AssetCare system was assessed by DNV and found to comply with the principles described in DNV rules for fleet in service as well as for service suppliers engaged in condition monitoring of machinery on board ships and mobile offshore units.

The AiP validated that the data collection infrastructure complies with DNV’s class notation D-INF, qualifying Keppel O&M as a service supplier. The AiP also concluded that the services can be used to qualify both in-service and newbuild vessels for the new DNV Smart notation, with the D-INF notation as basis.

The MoU has established joint development projects to promote the use of new digital technologies in the next two years. These include exploring process digitalisation and digital class for offshore and marine using DNV’s Open Class 3D Model Exchange.
