Highlights

  • ClassNK certification confirms F.R.I.D.A.Y PMS meets stringent functional requirements for Planned Maintenance Systems in “Guidance for the Survey and Construction of Steel Ships.”

  • Cloud-driven, modular platform offers shipowners scalable maintenance workflow digitization without heavy on-premise requirements.

  • Built-in carbon reporting enables real-time emissions tracking, supporting environmental compliance and sustainability targets.

iOThree Limited (NASDAQ:IOTR), a Singapore-based leader in maritime digital technologies, today announced that its F.R.I.D.A.Y Planned Maintenance System (PMS) has received class approval from ClassNK. The certification confirms F.R.I.D.A.Y PMS adheres to the functional specifications laid out in ClassNK’s “Guidance for the Survey and Construction of Steel Ships,” marking a critical milestone for the software’s global adoption.

Next-Generation, Cloud-Native Architecture
F.R.I.D.A.Y PMS is engineered as a cloud-driven, next-generation solution designed to replace legacy, on-premise maintenance platforms. Its lightweight, modular framework deploys rapidly across fleets of any size, eliminating the need for extensive hardware investment. Shipowners gain secure, real-time access to maintenance schedules, task assignments, and compliance records—enabling crews and shore teams to track vessel readiness from any internet-connected device.

Seamless Integration with Existing Infrastructure
Unlike traditional systems that demand deep integration work and infrastructure overhaul, F.R.I.D.A.Y PMS interfaces smoothly with a vessel’s current sensors, alarms, and maintenance logs. The platform’s open-API design allows for two-way communication with onboard equipment and third-party applications, reducing operational friction and minimizing crew training requirements.

Carbon Reporting for Regulatory Compliance
As regulatory bodies worldwide tighten emissions standards, F.R.I.D.A.Y PMS stands out by embedding a dedicated carbon reporting module. This feature captures fuel consumption, engine runtime, and auxiliary power usage data, automatically calculating greenhouse-gas outputs. Shipowners can generate compliance reports on demand—ensuring alignment with IMO regulations and facilitating progress toward corporate sustainability goals.

Enhanced Operational Resilience
By centralizing maintenance records and automating alert workflows, F.R.I.D.A.Y PMS reduces the risk of human error and unplanned downtime. Predictive maintenance insights, powered by machine-learning algorithms, flag potential equipment failures before they escalate. Early fault detection and streamlined spare-parts ordering processes help maintain high fleet availability and control repair costs.

Strategic Role in iO3’s Maritime ERP Suite
F.R.I.D.A.Y PMS is a cornerstone of iOThree’s broader cloud-native maritime ERP offering. Together with modules for crewing, procurement, and voyage management, it forms an integrated digital ecosystem. Customers benefit from unified dashboards and cross-module intelligence—driving holistic operational improvements and data-driven decision-making.

Implications for Maritime Digital Transformation
ClassNK’s approval signals industry confidence in F.R.I.D.A.Y PMS and paves the way for accelerated market penetration. As shipping lines and offshore operators seek to modernize ageing fleets, the demand for lightweight, scalable digital solutions has never been greater. iO3 anticipates that certified compliance will shorten sales cycles and expand its addressable market across Asia, Europe, and North America.
