Traceability

Traceability allows for better control. Through the unique serial number, the origin and quality of the product and its lifecycle can be traced. The serial numbering of components empowers suppliers in the maritime industry to enhance quality, efficiency, compliance, and customer satisfaction. This is due to the unique serial number footprint that validates the product quality standard and authentication.

• increasing vessel owner’s confidence: Traceability builds trust and confidence in the market.
• Tracing components: TRUST allows customers, suppliers, and licensees to trace the origin and history of components, ensuring that they meet quality standards
• Improving maintenance: By tracking each component's lifespan and maintenance history, serial number management can help identify when parts need to be repaired or replaced, reducing downtime and improving safety 

Reliability

If you cannot certify the quality of your components, you have little control over the functioning of your engines. Being able to rely on product quality is fundamental to business success.

• TRUST certifies that your components are OEM-produced, ensuring high quality standards.
• Low-quality components often require more frequent maintenance, repairs, or replacements. This leads to higher maintenance costs, increased downtime, and reduced operational efficiency.
• Unreliable components may fail to meet regulatory standards and safety requirements set by organizations such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and national maritime authorities.
• Non-OEM components can also have implications for insurance coverage in the maritime industry

Unity

The industry jointly stands in unity for more quality and safety at sea.

• We foster a culture of cooperation and collaboration amongst vessel owners, suppliers, shipbuilders, and regulatory entities.
• This collective transparency effort is essential for enhancing safety standards, promoting best practices, and addressing safety challenges such as accidents and pollution incidents.

Safety

There are numerous safety challenges at sea – your equipment should not be one of them. Investing in safe components protects people and property, but also fosters trust, credibility, and long-term relationships. 

• Working at sea is one of the world's most dangerous occupations, and there is a heightened need to protect people and investments. Safety, from quality components can helpto protect lives and safeguard the environment.
• It can be proven that parts are produced under the highest safety standards.
• Ensuring safe components also supports operational efficiency as accidents and breakdowns cost time and thereby money.

Transparency

Transparency is knowing what you’ve got. Instantly authenticating your critical components gives you the transparency you need.

• Better traceability and mapping of the product life cycle enable ship owners to gain insights into their engine durability and spare parts characteristics.
• By identifying any defects or issues early in the supply chain, suppliers can take corrective actions to improve product quality.

Unlock the full potential of your Original Equipment Manufacturer

While continuously optimizing our supply chain, we aim to ensure the highest quality and safety standards. To do so, we want to collect maritime data through close exchanges with class societies and our suppliers and licensees. The outcome is a digital, unique serial number system to ensure traceability through the component lifecycle.
