ABS to launch web portal for equipment manufacturers
American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) will shortly launch its new Supply portal, a website designed specifically to simplify the management of class-approved equipment for marine-related equipment manufacturers.
Integrated into the My Eagle customer web portal, the new Supply interface will provide equipment manufacturers with a simple online tool to manage their products’ class-related information from design to fabrication.
Managing traditional product design reviews, as well as certification through the ABS Type Approval programme, customers will be able to create new items, request reviews and surveys, view comments and track findings. Design requests may also include calculations run through the online ABS Web Calc Structural and Machinery programs to improve service delivery time.
“The user experience really sets this tool apart from other web-based class programs,” says ABS president and COO Chris Wiernicki. “Previously, manufacturers have had to work with online software developed for designers or ship operators, who have a different focus. Now they will have the details of their class services presented in a format that makes the most sense to them.”
Selected customers will have access to the new portal in October when ABS launches its preview release. General availability is scheduled for January 2011.
