Shell Pernis Rom Boosts Maritime Efficiency with UAB-Online

Since November 2024, Shell Pernis Romhas taken a significant step forward by integrating UAB-Online for seagoing vessels into its operations. Shell utilises the UAB-Online platform already at other locations for inland and seagoing maritime operations. The integration of UAB-Online’s seagoing module includes the use of the digital SSSCL (Ship/Shore Safety Check List) checklist, aligned with ISGOTT 6 guidelines, which is essential for maintaining high safety standards during vessel handling. Additionally, the platform's operational arrangements module allows for seamless management of pre-arrival communications and preparations.

Impact of UAB-Online on Operations at Shell Pernis

With the UAB-Online seagoing module now up and running, Shell Pernis is in a good position to further streamline its marine operations. The SaaS platform allows vessels to notify arrival smoothly and uniformly, while eliminating administrative hassle and miscommunication. Implementation of the digital SSSCL checklist ensures that all critical points about safety are checked and verified electronically, minimising human failure and enhancing compliance with international standards.

The Operational Arrangements module also makes it possible to coordinate all pre-operational work processes through digitization and acceleration of the exchange of information necessary between vessel and terminal. This, in turn, results in shorter handling times, clearer lines of communication, and thus even safer and quicker turnarounds for seagoing vessels.
