Equinox goes live with BASSnet SaaS, streamlining FSRU operations
OSLO, Norway; [13th February 2025]: Equinox Shipping Group (“Equinox”), the manager of a Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU), has gone live with BASSnet Fleet Management Systems as a fully SaaS solution for its vessel and office. This marks a key milestone for Equinox following its acquisition of FSRU vessel operations.
To optimise efficiency, Equinox chose BASSnet SaaS for Maintenance, Operations, Safety & Improvement Reporting (SAFIR), Risk Management, Reviews & Improvements, Document Management and Procurement. Additionally, the BASSnet BI Dashboard enhances strategic decision-making with advanced analytics.
Implementation of BASSnet’s Control of Work, Safety & Quality, and Inventory mobile apps will also drive on-the-go convenience and efficiency for crew in the complex FSRU shipboard environment.
Future-proof cloud solutions
“We opted for BASSnet SaaS to ensure seamless migration of our Planned Maintenance System (PMS) database and elevate our vessel management with the latest technology,” says Capt. Andrew Clifton, General Manager of PT. Perusahaan Pelayaran Equinox. “The BASS team rendered excellent service and support to ensure project success. Our FSRU crew’s familiarity with BASSnet further contributed to a smooth transition. We look forward to benefit from BASSnet’s cybersecure and cloud-based solutions to drive productivity onboard and at the office.”
“BASSnet SaaS provides a future-ready platform for Equinox,” says Per Steinar Upsaker, CEO & Managing Director of BASS Software. “With our complete cloud solutions and dedicated support, customers can achieve high operational efficiency with quality data. We’re proud to support Equinox to streamline their operations with cutting-edge maritime technology.”
“Managing an FSRU involves complexities beyond traditional vessels,” adds Capt. Andrew Clifton. “BASSnet’s SaaS solutions offer the innovation and digital edge we need to effectively maintain high-value LNG handling equipment and comply with strict maritime and energy regulations. BASSnet enables us to optimise performance while staying ahead in a rapidly evolving industry. We also received training in our office and onboard the FSRU from BASSnet staff; this training was of a very high standard and was invaluable.”
Strong support and partnership
The project’s success was driven by close collaboration between Equinox and BASS. A key factor was the smooth migration of the PMS database. With clear communication and a structured approach, BASSnet modules were successfully deployed on time and on budget.
Equinox’s unwavering commitment to the project timeline, combined with BASS’s expert guidance and support, ensured a seamless execution.
Powering Equinox for growth
This successful implementation underscores BASS’s commitment to delivering value through advanced ship management software and expert implementation. With BASSnet SaaS in place, Equinox is well-positioned for operational excellence to drive continued growth.
