MARVIN - the Maritime Virtual Enterprise Network Wondermar, Bremen, 7 December 2000 Presented by Peik Jenssen, DNV, Oslo
Content 1. Project overview 2. IC problems/challenges 3. Technical concept 4. Business cases 5. Data exchange 6. Exploitation 7. Demo
Objective: Reduce out-of-service time for ships Sponsor: European Union (ESPRIT 4) Budget: 2.44 mill Euro Duration: 36 months (1998 - 2001) Consortium: 10 members from Norway, Germany, Greece and Portugal
The MARVIN consortium • Det Norske Veritas - DNV (class society) (co- ordinator) • Germanischer Lloyd (class society) • IRI (Research Center for computers and law) • IST (Institute for Marine Technology and Engineering) • IWi (Institute for Business Information Systems) • Lisnave (Ship yard) • LMS (University of Patras) • Marenostrum (ship owner) • Neorion (ship yard) • SpecTec (provider of maintenance systems)
The aim of Marvin is to • Reduce the direct cost of ship repair and maintenance • Reduce the indirect costs of lost charter revenues • Contribute to safety and environment protection at sea and of the environment
Benefit for ship owners • Reduced off-hire • Reduced material and repair costs • Reduced communication costs
Problem definition What are the present I-C problems of the ship owner? • Conventional mail takes unnecessary time • Difficulty to exchange complex information electronically • Difficult to store and retrieve information • Data cannot be reused • Difficulty to find the “optimal” provider of service and parts • Human errors causing faulty work processes and poor results
All-in-one communication tool • ER company • ship yard • tug company • class society • insurance company • port authority • flag state • P&I club ship crew ship owner customer partner company

Business Cases • Planned maintenance • Emergency Response • Unscheduled repair • Conversion
MEIT - HECSALV • MEIT - AMOS • MEIT - Class.IT • AMOS - SYRIOS • AMOS - Class.IT Emergency repair Exchange scenarios Partner applications • crew - ERC • crew - owner • crew - class society • owner - yard • owner - class • GL/class - Class.IT • GL/ERC - HECSALV • Marenostrum - AMOS • Neorion - SYRIOS Application to application
Application to application • SGO - Nauticus • AMOS - Nauticus • AMOS - SGO Planned maintenance Partner applications Exchange scenarios • DNV - Nauticus • Lisnave - SGO • Marenostrum - AMOS • yard - class • owner - class • owner - yard
Security • Technical • Use of agent technology • Use of passwords • Possibility of using encryption and digital signature technology in future • Legal • Registration system for all users which includes the MEIT User Agreement • allows for electronic contracting between users
Results of the MARVIN project • Advanced search (by means of virtual assistants) • Structured work process • Fast and precise exchange of technical and commercial data • Simplified communication, i.e. all-in one communication tool • Key information easily available • Legal framework for virtual organisations
Exploitation of results • High priority from CEC • Understand the market • Users point of view • Finance point of view • Need a consortium agreement on exploitation • Estimate business potential • Need a business developer with interest in the results
Understand the market View of some ship owners: • IT use among ship owners is limited • Their focus is on internal systems • Problem that internal systems do not work together • Sceptical to “total solutions” • Not ready for the MARVIN solution in some years (?)
Understand the market Views of a finance company: • Make a unique product • only one service provider • Minimise risk • finish the technical solution before inviting venture capital • Solid business development strategy • Make a good description • The solution should be applicable to other industries - should be demonstrated • Make a revenue model
Exploitation considerations Business development candidate: • Neutral • Dedicated • Start small • Core competence in the maritime industry (buy software) • Exclusive rights • Consortium agreement must be in place.
Business development strategies Alternative business concepts: 1. First line service provider 2. Service provider working through a portal operated by somebody else 3. Technology provider • SW modules • virtual assistants • data exchange formats • consulting • training
