Northern Marine rolls out digital inspection reporting platform

Northern Marine Management, part of the Stena Group, has agreed to roll out Kaiko Systems’ digital inspection reporting platform across its managed fleet following a successful pilot.

The rollout will begin with the Shore Reports tool, which supports shore-based inspection teams with a digital workflow for capturing findings and producing reports.

During the pilot, the company says that it saw a reduction in the time required to complete inspection reports, helping shore teams deliver documentation more efficiently while maintaining a consistent and structured approach to reporting.

“This partnership supports our goal of reducing administrative burden while strengthening operational standards across the fleet,” said Michael Hackett, Fleet Director at Northern Marine Management.

“By making the reporting process more efficient and improving consistency in how findings are captured and followed up, we can better support crews while maintaining a clear focus on vessel condition, readiness and operational standards.”

The deployment reflects a wider focus by the company on practical digital tools that support day-to-day operations, improve the consistency and quality of reporting, and help teams act promptly on findings raised during vessel visits.

“The project shows how digital reporting tools can help streamline documentation, improve consistency and support more effective follow-up,” said Fabian Fussek, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Kaiko Systems.
