MaSSA-One (BEMAC)

MaSSA-One is a vessel support solution that provides end-to-end coverage, starting with the collection of onboard data and extending through condition monitoring and support for trouble response both onboard and onshore.

This webpage summarizes MaSSA-One’s key features, main functions, and practical examples of utilizing it.

What You Will Learn
on This Webpage

1. Strengths of the tool:
   It consolidates data scattered across the vessel and allows onboard and onshore teams to visualize and share the same information when making decisions.
2. What implementation enables:
   Through complex-condition alarms and troubleshooting functions, it supports the process from identifying early signs to making recovery decisions.
3. Best-fit companies:
   It is suitable for companies responsible for operation management and machinery management of vessels with high operational risk, such as hazardous cargo transport.

Key Features of MaSSA-One

Consolidate Scattered Onboard Data and Align It
as a Shared Basis
for Decision-Making Onboard and Onshore

The IoT Data Server, the core component of MaSSA-One, collects a wide range of onboard data and builds a data infrastructure in line with the international standards ISO 19847 and ISO 19848. It supports multiple input formats—including CSV as a data format, and Modbus and IEC 61162-1/2 as communication/interfaces—serving as a hub that accepts data from different systems.

By consolidating data, both onboard and onshore teams can understand the situation based on the same facts. Detailed measurement data, such as individual instrument values and time-series graphs, can also be checked in real time from the onshore management screen.

A Solution for Strengthening
Your Onshore
Management Framework

MaSSA-One is well suited to shipowners and marine fleet management companies that want to strengthen their onshore management framework.

When a shortage of experienced crew members or veteran superintendents makes it difficult to maintain the quality of monitoring operations, standardizing decision rules through complex-condition alarms and automatically setting thresholds through fairway alarms can be effective.

In addition, for vessels where an operational stoppage due to trouble would have a major impact—such as those on long-distance voyages or carrying high-value cargo, hazardous cargo, or special cargo—rapid recovery support through electrical troubleshooting can serve as a practical risk hedge.

Scalability of MaSSA-One

By using the API, stored data can be integrated with external applications and third-party services. In addition, the IoT Data Server supports a wide range of input formats, enabling new equipment to be incorporated smoothly into the monitoring scope when it is implemented. A key feature is its scalability for long-term use without being tied to a specific manufacturer.

Regulatory Compliance and Certification of MaSSA-One

For data handling, it complies with ISO 19847 (requirements for shipboard data servers) and ISO 19848 (standard data for equipment) ^*1. This enables open data utilization without dependence on a specific vendor.

It has also obtained the certification of Innovation Endorsement for Products & Solutions from Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK)^*2.

Implementation Costs and Pricing of MaSSA-One

Details such as initial fees and monthly charges are not publicly available, so it is necessary to contact the company via the official website.

Examples of Utilizing
MaSSA-One

One expected use scenario for MaSSA-One is when marine fleet management teams are overwhelmed by Excel-based tracking and frequent phone calls, which tends to delay incident response and regulatory compliance.

By organizing and visualizing onboard data through centralized management, it becomes possible to identify early signs and take initial action based on automated analysis, which in turn improves the efficiency of aggregation work for compliance with environmental regulations. Through these practices, it is possible to build an operational setup that supports uninterrupted operations.

Support and Follow-up for MaSSA-One

BEMAC, the provider, has been working to establish a maintenance alliance through the MaSSA partnership since an agreement in 2021.

It provides operational support that goes beyond the system itself, including monitoring and report distribution based on data utilization, as well as recovery support when trouble occurs. Please confirm the specific scope of any service quality guarantees, response hours, and support contact details on an individual basis before implementation.
