Leading global provider of LNG shipping services, Gaslog, has chosen the Norway-based maritime technology business, Shipnet, to automate its dry-docking process.
Delivering natural gas to support global efforts for a lower carbon future, Gaslog has an ambitious Asset Integrity Roadmap aimed at achieving operational excellence and enhanced competitiveness through reliability-based engineering principles. To this end, all dry dockings are managed holistically and on a lifecycle basis, with rigorous and detailed planning from the early stages of the dry-dock cycle. This goal required sourcing a partner that could enable Gaslog to optimize its dry-docking end-to-end management across its fleet through a high degree of standardization and automation, fully integrating its existing digital lifecycle maintenance platforms.
As part of consolidating everything under one digital platform and automating the dry-docking process, this includes lifecycle planning, specifications, tendering to execution, project management, project closing, and long-term company DD statistics.
Lampros Nikolopoulos, Asset Integrity Manager at Gaslog, said “Shipnet demonstrated flexibility and unprecedented attention to our requirements, which, along with fully addressing our needs, is also user-friendly and enjoyable to use. The enhanced and powerful shipyard tenders comparison module, the detailed creation of Owner’s Repair Specifications from pre-existing templates, the user-friendly and fully configurable setup, along with a continuous improvement approach from developers who constantly add new features, prompted us to nominate Shipnet for this project. Furthermore, Shipnet has the capability to host all the dry-docking planning and execution activities (including follow-up and reporting) on a single platform and provides its users with enhanced insights.
“Shipnet’s customer focus, along with its continuous flow of updates, has exceeded our expectations. We were also impressed by the system’s robustness, which is fully configurable to any user requirements. We are confident we can considerably reduce our overall project turnover time, allowing us to focus on the technical details for execution and optimizing the entire planning.”
Established in 1991 and headquartered in Oslo, Shipnet has a legacy of addressing industry challenges with its integrated vessel management software, trusted by over 150 businesses in 31 countries. Its expertise in integrated vessel management software allows businesses to see the bigger picture by combining technical, commercial, financial, and analytical operations together.

This partnership underscores Shipnet’s dedication to providing cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of the maritime industry. By combining our expertise with Gaslog, we will enhance operational efficiencies and drive digital transformation surrounding dry dock management.”
